Chronicling the inspiring and offbeat recovery of Joanna Callaghan, a two-time hereditary cancer survivor, who takes a radically creative approach to healing after breast cancer treatment. Following a double mastectomy, Joanna reclaims her body in the most unexpected ways - building a giant inflatable breast, devising song-and-dance routines inspired by post-surgery exercises, and throwing a party to celebrate breasts. Her journey is not just one of physical healing but also a powerful exploration of body acceptance and resilience.
Through a blend of self-shot footage, animation, and archival clips, the film brings humour and heart to the sensitive topic of breast cancer recovery. Joanna’s imaginative outlook shines through as she revisits her treatment, reconnects with family, and meets other survivors to share stories. Along the way, she faces the emotional toll of illness, navigates her own transformation, and demonstrates the power of creativity as a tool for survival.
This raw yet uplifting documentary delivers a message of hope and joy, shedding light on the deeply personal and universal experiences of those affected by breast cancer. Its inventive approach and fresh perspective on survivorship inspires viewers to find humour, hope, and healing even in the most difficult circumstances.

JB, a troubled writer running to escape the pain of a toxic relationship, forms an unlikely bond with a drifter living in his car, leading him on a path of self-discovery.
Fifty years after THE WICKER MAN, director Robin Hardy’s lost papers come to his filmmaker son Justin. Enlisting his brother Dominic, they journey to discover the complex nature of independent filmmaking and fatherhood. Justin’s view of the film is tainted because it robbed him of his father, home and mother; Dominic is more distanced, his experience relating to its subsequent cult status. But what was Robin’s creative contribution to the iconic shocker? Fans may not always like what the brothers find but will come closer to understanding the evolution of a fantasy classic and the maverick director behind it.
