The gold medal dreams of Czech high diver Andrea Absolonová (Natália Germáni) are shattered when she suffers a devastating spinal injury while training for the 1996 Olympics. Forced to leave the sport she loves, Andrea follows a photographer friend into the world of nude modeling, ultimately reinventing herself as adult actress Lea De Mae and performing in over 80 pornographic films.
Based on a tragic true story, HER BODY presents a powerful portrait of dedication and resilience against the seductive backdrop of fame and desire.
Cast
- Natalia Germani
- Cyril Dobrý
- "Rather than succumbing to sensationalism, Her Body offers a thoughtful exploration of identity, autonomy and the perception of the female body in industries that both exploit physical performance, yet are met with disparate levels of respect and reverence."
- "**** (4 stars) In effect, it’s three different roles – the Olympian, the recovering patient and the porn actress – and Germáni convinces in all of them. "
- "A towering performance by Natalia Germani, intensely physical but also brittle and natural...."
- "Her Body is a subtle but striking indie gem—the kind of film I love to discover. It’s heartfelt, unflinching, and absolutely worth seeking out."
- "Císařovská's film is a testament to the transformative power of cinema, connecting with contemporary issues of identity and self-determination."
- "Natalia Germani gives viewers every bit of herself, leaning into the power of her success. Germani’s stoic gaze hides Andrea’s inner turmoil. It captures the emotional complexity of her story."
