At a major life crossroads, Nadia, 26, returns to her mother’s home from New York City, with a secret (body) that her mother doesn’t want to accept, but is determined to expose.
TWO BODIES looks at the gray area between familial rejection and acceptance of sexual orientation, and the way a mother desires a daughter to uphold social codes, but not to the extent of breaking the bond of their relationship. Film Theorist/Author, Ph.D, Jon Wagner commented, “it examines the perverse rituals of the ‘normal’ delivery of daughters into male culture and status quo.”
