Broder (The Pisces) delivers a bittersweet and erotic account of a woman's intertwining relationship to food, her mother, and her sexuality. Rachel , a lapsed Jew who works at a Los Angeles talent management agency by day and does stand-up comedy by night, has suffered from anorexia since childhood. But things begin to change after her therapist suggests she take a 90-day communication detox from her overbearing and controlling mother, whose own relationship with eating and fatphobic comments have long contributed to Rachel’s body image troubles. After Rachel meets Miriam, a food-loving Orthodox Jewish woman, and embarks on a passionate affair with her, Rachel breaks her self-imposed “Spartan regimen,” rediscovers life’s simple pleasures, and tries to figure out what will bring her true happiness.
