Developing is a 1994 short film (28 minutes) directed by Marya Cohn, about the relationship between a girl and her single mother, who has breast cancer.
Returning home post-surgery, she struggles against her feelings of self-consciousness but tries to act as if all is normal in order to protect her daughter, Nina (Natalie Portman).
The show is a success but Clare feels uncomfortable as people constantly mention both her illness and her surgery.
Clare then has a meltdown where she screams at a photographer covering the event after he takes numerous photos of her.
Failing to find Nina after returning home, Clare begins to take self-portraits using a mirror, gradually stripping off all her clothes.
