Louise is in her fifties, a successful filmmaker with a fulfilling life. Her children have flown the nest, and she and her husband are embracing their newfound freedom. But suddenly, something shifts. She can’t sleep, starts forgetting things, and her mood swings; she feels depressed and anxious without knowing why. Then, a gynecologist tells her she has entered menopause. As she begins to Google her symptoms, she realizes she is not alone. Women all over the world suffer from the same diffuse symptoms, yet no one truly knows why or where to turn for help. Around the world, leading scientists are searching for answers to one of the greatest mysteries of womanhood: menopause.
