Exploring the themes of I lost my body:Childhood trauma, loss, and how to undertake your own journey

In this video, I examine the themes explored in the 2019 French animated film “I lost my body”. The movie explores the archetype of the orphan in our modern day context in a meaningful and impactful way. I discuss the symbolism of the fly, the hand, and Naoufel’s recording device. I also discuss the importance of his relationship with Gabrielle and how taking on the apprenticeship helps him take the first steps in his own healing journey. The movie can teach us how to reconnect with our own orphaned parts in order to heal from our past traumas.
