Many women know little about menopause until it hits them unexpectedly. Acclaimed journalist and filmmaker Ingeborg Beugel (53) was caught off guard by its symptoms. Unrecognizable to herself, she created the documentary Uitebloe(id) to explore this life-changing phase.
Major Changes
Ingeborg felt irritated, confused, depressed, overwhelmed, and lost interest in sex. She separated from her partner and began seeing someone new. Only later did she connect these drastic shifts to menopause.
Fact: In the past, women died before or around menopause, but due to increasing life expectancy, it now falls squarely in the middle of our lives.
Still a Taboo Topic
In Uitebloe(id), Ingeborg tackles the questions everyone wonders about but few discuss openly. She navigates all stages of menopause, consulting specialists, her mother, friends, and Dutch celebrities. Through intimate glimpses into her life, she reveals its profound impact.
