Four patients need answers. Each has symptoms that no one has been able to explain, and they are searching urgently. The film looks at the healthcare systems they depend on, and at problems there that fall hardest on women. Taboos around the subject keep it out of open conversation, gender bias shapes how patients are treated, and doctors can be misinformed about what they are seeing. Barriers to care stand in the way of treatment. Millions of women live with such symptoms in silence. The film sets out the case that fighting back can change this and improve healthcare for everyone.
