Ellen Andries’ documentary directing debut. Together with her husband, DP & Editor Thomas Maddens, they set out to capture a personal and intimate story of their battle with the chronic illness: Endometriosis. Ellen’s quality of life, their relationship and hope of starting a family are plunged into uncertainty by a dark and mysterious monster and the path to a better life
They decided to turn the cameras on themselves, not just for themselves, but for the over 200 million women (and their partners) who share the same struggles and for those who don’t even know the reason for their pain yet. As a first step, they want to create global awareness and allow women to speak openly about this chronic illness.
