Synopsis:
The film is a portrait of an artist and a portrait of a deadly disease, severe anorexia. During the last years, Lene Marie Fossen (1986-2019) became recognized as a world class photographer. She had a unique photo-project: to expose the shame and to confront the disease. Her photo art is naked and honest and the audience gets to meet an unusual girl in a raw and poetic film.
