In the aftermath of an eating disorder, two estranged sisters begin a ritual. As they delve into their conflicted past, they expose each other's fault-lines. Marrow weaves words and images from witchcraft trials with the psychological landscapes of two contemporary women, interrogating assumptions about mental health, feminism, victimhood and agency.
