An intimate documentary by Claire Simon about a women's clinic in Paris, its patients, and the female body — including her own.

Gothenburg favorite Claire Simon (God's Offices GFF 2009, Human Geography GFF 2014, The Woods Dreams Are Made Of GFF 2016, and more) returns with a courageous and poignant film about the female body. From inside the examination rooms of a gynecological clinic, she uses her sharp and empathetic gaze to focus on the encounters between patients and doctors. A young woman agonizes over her unwanted pregnancy, a transgender woman shares her psychological and physical transition challenges, a doctor takes her patient's hand and delivers the worst possible news. Then suddenly, Simon herself becomes a patient, and this masterful film about the complexity of life and death expands with deeply personal dimensions.
