Patrick Staff’s newest work was inspired by artist-writer Catherine Lord’s memoir The Summer of Her Baldness (2004)—a moving and often irreverent account of the author’s experience of cancer.

The film suggests a complex relationship to one’s own suffering and draws into focus the fine line between alternately poisonous and curative substances.
