Soon the Flesh is filmed partly at a hospital and partly at a lake in Berlin. The hospital scenes provide a documentation of Maximova's environment right before surgery. The seemingly impenetrable underwater audio score serves as a continuous thread throughout the film, representing a sense of enclosure. In the video we catch glimpses of Gena Rowlands in the film Love Streams. Her multiple on-screen portrayals of women facing mental instability becomes a signifier for the limited representation of women's emotional experiences in cinema. Drawing from her own personal experiences, the filmmaker explores pathways to reflect on contemporary perceptions of women's bodies and emotions.
