Stories about my body
SYNOPSIS
Stories About My Body is Morgana O’Reilly’s fearless, funny, and unexpectedly tender 70-minute feature making its world premiere in the NZICF. O’Reilly turns her own body into a map of memory, mischief, and motherhood. With the precision of stand-up and the intimacy of a confession, she traces a life lived in skin: 78 organs, 206 bones, 32 teeth, 8.8 kilograms of armour, and two whole human bodies brought into the world.
What begins as a wildly candid comedy special blooms into a story-driven film of sharp observations and big-hearted truths - spanning diary entries from ’98, boobs, birth, selling toes in New York City, and the ongoing, complicated task of learning to like her chins - this is a celebration of messy, magnificent womanhood.
