Overview
"As far back as I can remember I've never been hungry". That's how begins the autobiographical story of a man - the movie maker himself - who reports both the anorexia nervosa that he went through as a child, then as a teenager, and the difficult relationship that, as an adult, he's been sustaining with foodstuff, or with the mere act of ingesting solid food.
