Many women know little about menopause. Until they suddenly find themselves in it. Also program maker Ingeborg Beugel (53) was attacked by it. She did not recognize herself and decided to make a documentary about the transition.
Major changes
Ingeborg was irritated, confused, depressed. unmanageable and didn't feel like having sex anymore. She went to live alone and took a friend in addition to her regular partner. She discovered much too late that the drastic changes had to do with the transition.
Fact: In the past, women died before or around the menopause, but due to the increasing life expectancy, the menopause suddenly falls in the middle of our lives.
Still a little taboo
In Uitebloe(id), Ingeborg goes in search of answers to questions that everyone has, but that hardly anyone dares to ask. She takes you through all stages of the transition. She visits sepcialists, her mother, friends and Dutch celebrities. Ingeborg gives us a glimpse into her own life, but she also shows how great the impact of the transition is.
