My Beautiful Broken Brain

Synopsis

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.
From unpredictable first-time neurological experiments, through to the extraordinary revelations of her altered mind Lotje takes us on a genre-twisting tale that is by turns excruciating and exquisite.
