My Beautiful Broken Brain
Life is like a dream
Directed by Sophie Robinson, Lotje Sodderland
An intimate, visually inventive documentary about neurological trauma and recovery that balances devastation with wonder, exploring consciousness and resilience through one woman's altered perception of reality.
A profoundly personal voyage into the complexity, fragility and wonder of the human brain, after Lotje Sodderland miraculously survives a hemorrhagic stroke and finds herself starting again in an alien world, bereft of language and logic. This feature documentary takes us on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite - from the devastating consequences of a first-time neurological experiment, through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered sensory perception.
