Synopsis

At the age of twenty-four, I was diagnosed with premature menopause. Having devoted myself to filmmaking, I have never even been in a serious romantic relationship. Now, I feel a growing estrangement between my body and my mind. Am I no longer young? What becomes of marriage, or more importantly, my film?
This documentary began when the director, diagnosed with premature menopause while in film school, decided to turn the camera toward herself.??

Director's Statement

There are those who find the strength to rise again, even after a devastating physical change. Whether it is an illness of the body or of the mind, I hope that people who find themselves in similar circumstances can take away a feeling of joy from this film.
