-The staggering scale and complex causes of eating disorders are poorly understood. "La peau et les os, après..." (Skin and bones, after...) offers a thought-provoking reflection on this malaise that strikes more than ever, especially girls, but also boys. A "cancer of the soul" that kills more than any other mental illness. This hard-hitting documentary brings us face to face with the icy abyss in which anorexics and bulimics live: the refusal to leave childhood behind, the euphoria derived from maniacal control of their bodies, self-mutilation, shame, of course, the extreme need for attention, loneliness, the desire to die... "La peau et les os, après..." features Annie, Isabelle, Marlène, Hélène and 17-year-old Charlotte, who have agreed to relive these periods of distress that almost took their lives. They give their testimony to rekindle hope in the hearts of so many young people crying out their anguish.
