Arreta

There are changes to our bodies that we desire and have control over; while there are others that come suddenly, unexpectedly, and even brutally. They remind us that life is not always ours to control. After surviving breast cancer, Ainhoa takes a decision to reconstruct her body with a tattoo. A process through which she seeks to empower herself in her new trans body. Arreta focuses on the body and the changes it goes through, where illness and death are another part of life. “Arreta means attention and awareness”, says Ainhoa. Attention to what? Perhaps that life will never stop surprising us with the most seemingly trivial of things…the passing of time.

María Zafra y Raquel Marques nos presentan este documental llamado Arreta, el cual se centra en el cuerpo de Ainhoa, entendiendo el concepto de cuerpo, no con el sentido físico que propiamente se atribuye, sino como un conjunto de experiencias que nos marcan a cada uno en la vida, las que elegimos nosotros y las que nos llegan sin avisar. La historia se centra en Ainhoa, una joven que, tras sobrevivir a un cáncer de mama, decide hacerse un tatuaje donde antes tenía un pecho, queriendo darle un nuevo valor a la cicatriz que le dejó.
