A story about Mindy, a woman living with an eating disorder who has to
learn how to love herself again.
In pursuit of the perfect body, Mindy buys the low-fat diet products and
the glossy magazines which promise the secret to losing weight. One
night, while perusing the aisles of the neighborhood convenience store
for a midnight snack, she finds a new product. A chocolate bar called
"Eat and Love Yourself". On a whim, Mindy buys the curious candy, not
knowing that with every piece of chocolate she eats, she will be brought
back to a specific moment of her past -- helping her to look at herself
honestly, learn to love her body the way it is, and accepting love.
Perhaps, she will even realize that her long lost high school best
friend, Elliot, was more than just a friend...
Sweeney Boo (Love Is Love) presents an honest and uncompromising look at
how we form our self-image, the eating disorders that haunt our most
private moments and what it takes to learn to love ourselves again.
