048 Exemption from co-payments for cancer patients
Introduction
The video is a summary of a long interview that Luana Rovini gave me before her death in April 2009, about her experience as a terminally ill cancer patient.
Synopsis
The selected sections relate to the concept of "boundary," that is, the unique existential condition in which cancer patients find themselves. This unique and dramatic experience leads to the beginning of a personal journey of reworking their lives through the discovery and activation of internal resources that were previously unknown to them.
Rovini's valuable testimony is part of a project aimed at producing a documentary about cancer and, more generally, about the disease, supported by the following organizations: FilmCommissionTorinoPiemonte, Fondazione CRT, and the Foundation for Cancer Research and Treatment of Candiolo.
"48." I started with a number. A number that aims to concentrate, in its brevity, multiple ideas; a number that emphasizes the homogenization of cancer patients and their depersonalization.
A number that, expressing a code of disability, reflects all the drama of cancer, in its treatment pathways and in the exhausting chronicity that marks that person forever, for better or for worse.
