Body Horror Meets Psychological Drama in BODY ODYSSEY

Premiering on IndiePix Unlimited on 2/28

SYNOPSIS

A contender to become Miss Body Universe, Mona (Jacqueline “Jay” Fuchs) is a 45-year-old champion bodybuilder whose entire existence is a spasmodic quest for perfection and beauty. Her daily schedule is carefully followed by her obsessive coach, Kurt (Julian Sands in one of his final performances), who rigorously monitors her every action like a demiurge: her sleep, her nutrition, her training, her doping, her psychology and even her sexual life. This unyielding regimen, however, becomes disrupted when a brief romantic encounter with a young man impacts both her discipline and her will.

Combining elements of Cronenberg-esque body horror with psychological drama, BODY ODYSSEY is the genre-bending and surreal debut feature from award-winning director Grazia Tricarico, who captured Best Director at Sitges in 2024.
