Because of My Body

Film program, IT 2019, 80 min., ital. OV + engl. UT

By: Francesco Cannavá

With: Claudia Muffi, Marco Purzo

Twenty-year-old Claudia’s life in search for self-determination is not always an easy one. Born with a disability, she has long tried to be able to lead an autonomous life. Her life changes when she meets sexual assistant Marco. He is there to help her to get to know her body, sexual desires and intimate needs, but she’s not the only one who experiences an emotional crisis. The film not only examines the roles of care recipient as well as care giver with equal measure, but also handles the resulting emotional conflicts in a subtle and touching way.
