Her Body
The sensationally similar sports and porn industries present bodies on the podium for the pleasure and joy of countless fans. Any competitive athlete trains their body to be perfect for racing, jumping, etc. In an adult film, an attractive body becomes a sexual object to anonymous viewers.
A daring portrait of a woman's devotion to her body and its extraordinary transformation into an instrument of sexual temptation. A spinal injury destroys a long cherished Olympic dream for Czech professional high diver Andrea Absolonová. She follows her photographer friend to the adult entertainment world and performs in more than 80 porn films as Lea De Mae. Merciless fate brings her the ultimate ordeal – a rare aggressive form of brain cancer. Such an unbelievable true story could inspire three separate films.
