Inadvertently walking in on one of her handicapped singers as she&#8217;s having an orgasm unexpectedly awakens something in her. Then she discovers that her jovial quadriplegic brother has regularly been enjoying carnal favors in their home&#8230; and her journey to personal fulfillment and advocating for sexual assistance for the disabled begins. &#8220;Cathy&#8217;s&#8221; personal awakening unfolds with great delicacy and the show&#8217;s own brand of cheeky good humor, in this fairly atypical family comedy that dares to challenge notions of desire, intimacy and pleasure for people with disabilities&#8230; and the rest of the population, as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Co-writer\/co-director <strong>Jonathan Hazan<\/strong> joined Les Films du Cygne as a producer in 2009, where he has produced more than thirty short films.
