Co-directors Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel previously captivated the world of cinema with their ground-breaking depictions of the fishing industry in Leviathan (2012) and cannibalism in Caniba (2017). Returning with an equally boundary-pushing documentary, this time they have literally delved deep into the everyday working life of various hospitals in France. Over 350 hours of footage has been condensed into one unique film, which takes us deep inside the mysterious interior of the human body.

Taking its title from Andreas Vesalius' far-reaching textbook on anatomy from 1543, De humani corporis fabrica takes us on a journey of discovery into generally unknown territory. Rarely has the body been portrayed so honestly and directly on film. NB! The film is definitely not for the squeamish.
