What is it that remains hidden behind the bodybuilders’ swollen muscles, their stretched, tatted skin, the everyday rituals of preservation and enhancement of a flamboyant masculinity? One of the most interesting contemporary filmmakers observes the paradoxical human need to detach from one’s body and turn it into an object of admiration, as well as the talent to find balance through exaggeration.
