Overview

Synopsis

The Dangers of VD (Valentine’s Day) combines uproarious laughs with interesting social commentary about the role of sex in marriage, set against the background of Valentine's Day. Gramps and Gran yearn for the romance of their younger days while their daughter-in-law, Paulette, and her husband, Henry, deal with his lack of interest in sex. Meanwhile, Paulette's daughter is being coached to dress in revealing clothing to attract men by her Aunt Jean who is a divorcee and secretly jealous of her sister’s long-term marriage.

Will Gran and Gramps come to terms with the challenges of senior sex? Will Paulette discover why her loving, devoted husband can’t bring himself to be intimate with her? Will the plan to have Jean date Henry work out the way Paulette hopes?
