The policeman Janusz does not know how to help his anorexic daughter Olga and has her put into a clinic. Here Olga encounters the esoteric psychologist and body therapist Anna: the latter as a medium also gets the dead to speak again. Mercilessly and empathetically, Szumowska relates Janusz`s `s inner battle against Anna`s spiritualist ideas and thus of the difficulty of getting round the loss of a beloved person. Encorporating elements of black comedy and metaphysical speculations, BODY reminds us of the best times of Krzysztof Kieslowski and was honoured with the Silver Bear for the best director at the Berlinale in 2015.
