7 fois par terre, 8 fois debout

A woman. A wife. A mother, mine.
An unstable health and 15 years of fight against the disease.
This film develops through a body, her body, her skin, her flesh and her cells. I explore the organic relationship of the disease within the broken and reconstructed body of my mother.
This documentary shows and questions the strength and weakness of the disease, the body and the mind. I look at it from my daughter’s point of view, but also from a woman’s point of view, and I try to develop, with her, a personal questioning on the human and hereditary aspect of the disease.
