​

One woman’s fight to shed the emotional inhibition which prevents her from feeling any true physical connection to her life. Through her desperate journey, she seeks a way to feel the reality of her world; passion, pain, joy and vulnerability alike, and reconnect with the visceral sensations of what it is to be human, alive and conscious.
