Abby seems to be leading a perfect life. She is beautiful, married to a successful lawyer, lives in a lovely home outside New York, has two healthy children and spends her free time investing in real estate. After suffering a concussion in the head, Abby begins to question her middle-class existence with a little sex. Adopting the new Eleanor, she starts welcoming choice clients in an apartment she has bought to repair. A sort of lesbian Belle de Jour, Concussion was selected for Sundance and the 2013 Berlin Festival, where it got an honorable mention from Teddy Award.
