Mes deux seins, journal d'une guérison
Marie Mandy
2010 - 92 min - HDV - Couleur - France

The director learns she has breast cancer. It’s a complete shock. Will her life end tomorrow? How will she manage? The filmmaker in her decides to assist the patient as she searches for meaning. Seeking inner healing along with physical recovery, she uses her camera to weave a dialogue between conventional and alternative medicines. She explores every dimension of this disease that affects one woman in nine. Will she also have to lose her breast? She ponders the new Amazons, women who choose not to replace the breast.
Her inquiry into the medical world, part of a personal and artistic quest, achieves unprecedented intimacy with the disease.
