Am I the skinniest person you’ve ever seen?

The scouts

Most films about eating disorders traffic in crisis and recovery narratives—Marjara cuts that off at the knees by refusing catharsis, instead choosing the weirder, truer move: sitting with the lyrical wreckage of memory itself, where sisterhood and sickness become almost inseparable.

The essay film form allows Marjara to position this personal reckoning within a lineage of auto-ethnographic cinema that honors both the formal and the testimonial; the decades-long temporal architecture and her commitment to tonal restraint elevate what could be memoir into something genuinely considered.

The film's restraint is its coup—Marjara strips away melodrama entirely, and in that absence, a single choice ripples through: letting silence and the texture of archival material do what confession cannot, which turns the whole thing into something that feels excavated rather than performed.
