About SNAKE OIL
“I imagine a lot of people find you when they’re at that point of, “well, if it helps even a little bit, then what’s the harm?”’
A young journalist, Mickey, arrives at the home of a wellness entrepreneur for an interview about her new book, The Goodness Plan.
As Mickey digs deeper into Marianne’s ethos around food, and Marianne prepares one of her favourite recipes, the two women come to a stand-off over Marianne’s central rule for healing: ‘nothing artificial, under any circumstances’.
