A 30something gets a job teaching sex ed to high schoolers despite the fact that she's still a virgin in this film co-written by Singh directed by Sarah Zandieh.
revolves around surely the most literal interpretation imaginable of the old saying “those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.”stars as Maya, who stumbles almost by accident into a job teaching sex ed, despite still being a virgin. As she schools her kids on everything from consent to gender identity to orgasms, Maya sets out to unlearn the shame that she herself internalized at that age — and maybe even to get laid for the first time.
Meanwhile, the film extends sincere empathy toward Maya’s struggle to internalize in private the sex-positive values she espouses in public. “I’m confident with everything else but when it comes to this stuff, it’s like I’m broken,” she cries after a date with a cute fellow teacher ends with her cruelly projecting her own fears about being “weak” and “prudish” onto him.
The opposition to her teachings is strangely toothless — none of the other parents or teachers even notice how drastically she’s strayed from the lesson plan for weeks, and once they do, the ensuing pushback plays out with more confusion than venom. It’s outside the scope of any one movie, let alone a lighthearted comedy like this one, to fix the state of sex ed in America.
