It is said that when changes take place in society, the sexual sphere is the most resistant to them. It is not customary to talk about sex. But the words we use (or keep silent) reveal and shape our attitude to this process. As well as to our body and our own sexuality. And it affects the rest of our lives. At the same time, each story reflects the social, political, gender, educational and other problems of a particular society.

Martin Scorsese’s portrait of writer and social commentator Fran Lebowitz, celebrated for her sharp wit and observations on modern life. Filmed at New York’s Waverly Inn and intercut with archival footage and interviews, the documentary captures Lebowitz’s distinctive worldview through her spontaneous monologues and public appearances.

A documentary on the expletive's origin, why it offends some people so deeply, and what can be gained from its use.
