Body (Telo)

Body spans two decades of Seliškar’s close friend Urška Ristić’s life, when she was battling rare autoimmune diseases. During her recovery from vasculitis – a disease of the central nervous system – she had to learn to speak, walk, get to know herself, recognize her surroundings and her daughter, accept, understand and love her body again, which seemed to her as if it wanted to destroy her. Just when life seemed to be the way it should be again, Urška was struck by a new illness, much more mysterious and insidious than the first one. The film blends intimate conversations, personal archives and creative visuals to explore the mysteries of the human body and the power of art and friendship to understand its essence. The film takes us on a tumultuous journey toward healing and self-acceptance.
