Womanly beauty, healing and healed, a loving portrait...

“In 1978, I was twenty-nine when I had my first mastectomy. Thirty when I had the second. For thirteen years I lived without breasts before undergoing a series of proceedures for reconstructive surgery, proceedures which took two years to complete. That story, one of medical decisions, operations, and life changing choices, is part of my story. But only part.

DOLL HOSPITAL is about my mother's inexhausible love of being female, and how that love led me, fed me, saved me, helped me to find a way out of the darkness of being Venus disarmed.”

With warmth and love, DOLL HOSPITAL explores the intensely personal and complex roots of feminity. In a beautiful portrait of one woman’s mother, a deep awareness of the personal experience of breast cancer unfolds.

Life and death, yes; illness and wellness, yes; breast cancer patients contend with these weighty issues, of course. But what women really feel as women contending with breast cancer, is something utterly profound. A daring, fearless, and sometimes shocking true story, DOLL HOSPITAL is an unforgettable film about one woman’s journey towards hope.
