In your head

Overview

Emma, a young woman suffering from chronic pain, finds herself trapped in a life marked by physical suffering and misunderstanding. Despite her efforts to explain her discomfort, her condition is systematically ignored or minimized by doctors and by her partner Daniele, who tell her that “it’s all in her head.” Through her intimate and everyday experiences, we see Emma struggling with a reality that isolates her, made worse by the superficiality and sexism with which her condition is treated.
