Pressured by her personal trainer, a woman in her forties endures a grueling physical regimen to prepare for a bodybuilding competition. Little by little, her body starts speaking to her in a strange voice.
Exploring how the mind starts to lose its grip on reality when the body is subjected to extreme conditions, Grazia Tricarico depicts the agony of bodybuilding head-on in a strangely fascinating portrayal that spares nothing of the character’s sexuality, struggle and excesses. This unorthodox film blends surrealism and psychological drama, and features one of the last on-screen appearances of the late Julian Sands.
