Tagline

It's hard to tell how screwed you are when you're having a ball.

Overview

Lucille comes of age in the rebellious, sexually liberated 1970's. Determined to take advantage of the new freedom offered by The Pill, she explores and experiments with women and men, straight and gay, at home and abroad. Lucille is devoted to being a musician, but her sexual abandonment and haunting past threaten to destroy her. Teddy, a music producer, responds to her appeal for help. He insists that she behave like a professional, and he helps her put together a stronger band. She recruits sax player Hank the Hunk to her band, and they fall in love. Lucille is ready to have a baby, but Hank sits on the fence.
