KORTSYNOPSIS
Filmarna Annika & Kersti gör en
revanschfilm om blodspår genom kvinnolivet. När den enas bisarra blödande visar
sig vara cancer står de plötsligt mitt i filmen de håller på med. Det som var ett
lekfullt försök att hitta tillbaka till skaparlusten blir en berättelse på liv och död. Som drivs framåt av vilda samtal med insprängda sekvenser ur filmen de gör.

SHORT SYNOPSIS
