This documentary follows Eisha, a Punjabi Canadian who grew up in a small town in Quebec. The film explores her childhood bond with her sister, Seema, and a joint effort to diet that evolved into a dangerous battle with anorexia. Looking back at her youth, Eisha examines her struggle with eating disorders and the search for identity and belonging through the perspective of a feminist diaspora. The narrative serves as a reflection on body image and a personal letter to her younger self.
The film was directed by Eisha Marjara and is the first of two films she has directed, followed by Calorie in 2025. Produced by Ariel Nasr and Joe Balass, the project was a collaboration between Compass Productions and ONF | NFB. This Canadian production has a runtime of 22 minutes.
