About the film

Lene Marie Fossen is 32-years-old and a unique photographer with an extraordinary talent. But she also suffers from severe anorexia and has done so for ten years. The desire to create gives her the desire to live and come out into the world and meet people. Her great dream is to have a solo exhibition where she will show the pain she has inside herself through her pictures.
