What happens

Vas-y maman est un film français réalisé en 1978 par Nicole de Buron. Annie Larcher est une femme au foyer, s'occupant d'élever ses deux enfants avec son mari patron d'une fabrique de lunettes. Lasse d'effectuer les tâches domestiques dans l'indifférence générale, elle décide de donner un nouveau tournant à sa vie. D'abord employée comme réceptionniste dans une maternité, elle se lance ensuite dans l'écriture d'un roman érotique. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
