My Body, My Rules

Divorced from current dictates of feminine beauty, this hybrid film sets no limits while exploring all types of bodies. The documentary features a gallery of intimate portraits that challenge our perceptions of gender, color, ability, hair, weight, sexuality, age and identity, revealing the magical, secret, sensual and cruel relationship these people have with their bodies. Emilie Jouvet explores bodies that occupy space, that leave stains, that annoy, that consume, that enjoy life as they please, that age and transform. In short, bodies that are free and wild. The film examines existing norms and reveals ways to resist them.
