Serendipity (2019)

While artist Prune Nourry has spent her entire working life exploring issues around the human body, connecting Art and Sciences, she was diagnosed three years ago with breast cancer, at the tender age of 31. The film opens on medical images, as she documented her treatment to be an active patient in the process of healing. She turns her medical odyssey into an epic artistic adventure as she discovers new meaning in her body of work and its curious relationship to her illness. Serendipity is about random coincidences that started to coalesce in Prune Nourry’s art and life. It goes beyond an artist portrait to a universal story of femininity, and aims to give hope to the many women going through the same journey.
