OUR BODY

  • Claire Simon

This documentary observes women in a gynecological clinic in Paris and their intimate dialogues about vulnerability and hope, pregnancy and abortion, transsexuality and cancer. Claire Simon receives her own cancer diagnosis during filming – and for a moment turns from being the observer to the observed.
