Full Support

In a Jaffa bra shop’s fitting room, each heroine struggles to find the perfect bra. She bares not just her chest, but her soul, sharing tales of triumph and the occasional wardrobe malfunction. From the awkward moment they first break out, to the sobering reality checks of mammograms, the relationship with our “girls” is a bouncy roller-coaster of ups and downs because life, much like a poorly fitted bra, is full of surprises. This film unravels the mystery, myth, and Full Support between women and their breasts. There’s no symbolism to the garment, it simply exists as a point of conversation. Director Michal Cohen tastefully avoids moving her camera up and down on the women and she gives everyone the space they need to offer their truth on the subject.
