Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film weaponizes the real phenomenon of medical gaslighting, where women's pain is routinely dismissed as hormonal. Jane's literal rotting becomes metaphor made flesh.
Director Elizabeth Whitmere expanded this from her own experience being dismissed during perimenopause. Dr. Niedorzeczny's name roughly translates to 'unnecessary' in Polish—a bitter joke about his role in Jane's care.
