Bloody Hell follows “16-year-old Lindy (Ziegler), who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition that upends her plans to have sex, presumptions about womanhood and relationship with her mother (Hampshire).”
The film is semi-autobiographical for director Molly, who was diagnosed with MRKH Syndrome at 16.
“It took me several years to scrape together the courage to write this script,” Molly shared in a statement. “I knew Maddie was the perfect person to capture the nuance and complexity of this confusing, emotionally overwhelming and in hindsight, absurd, time in my adolescent life.”
For those that don’t know, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome is a congenital condition characterized by underdevelopment of the female reproductive tract.
