Disfigured (2008)

Lydia is a fat, graceful woman struggling to maintain her identity in fashionable

Venice Beach, CA. Though she is a member of a Fat Acceptance Group (a

movement dedicated to fighting prejudice against fat people), she still struggles

with complex feelings about her body and its place in the world.

Darcy, a recovering-anorexic Venice real estate agent, is struggling with the

same issues from a very different perspective. Her attempt to join the Fat

Acceptance Group (since she sees herself as fat) is quickly rejected - but it

introduces her to Lydia.

Though they seem at first to be each other's worst nightmare, Lydia and

Darcy begin to confide in each other. Meeting warily in the social minefields

of hunger and satisfaction, anger and femininity, sexuality and fashion, trust and

fear...they become friends.

But then Lydia, stirred by a growing romance with a sweet overweight guy

named Bob, asks Darcy for an unusual favor: she wants anorexia lessons.

When Darcy lets Lydia inside her secret inner world, it forces both women to

confront deeply-buried feelings about their bodies - and nothing will ever be

the same again, for either one.
