obese John Doe can’t get out of bed, but his soul flies above from a trapeze.
His Aunt Jane’s rebukes and his therapist’s manipulation drive him to make a
dangerous choice. He opts for a radical new surgery that will either make him
thin or kill him, and inadvertently gains fame as a talk-show guest. From
internationally acclaimed writer/director Ӧzen Yula, this world premiere satire
takes a dark look at our society of consumption and our desperate desire for
reduction and redemption. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
