The director learns she has breast cancer. Her life is turned upside down. Her journey through the medical world, part of an artistic and personal quest, achieves unprecedented intimacy with the disease.
Seeking healing both interior and physical, her camera weaves a dialogue between conventional and alternative medicines. She explores every dimension of this disease that affects one woman in nine.
