Summary
Bulimia is on the rise, yet it is often portrayed in the media as a kind of "extreme" dieting practiced by models, socialites and others obsessed with their appearance. In reality, this eating disorder can be as hard to overcome as any addiction and affects both men and women from all walks of life. This documentary takes the viewer into the lives of women and men who are struggling to cope with bulimia and its consequences. It combines interviews and observational footage of each of them and their family members illuminating the feelings of compulsion, confusion and desperation endemic to the disorder ... but also the hope of recovery.
