The film offers a compelling, unvarnished examination of the life and career of the late Andrea Absolonová, a Czech diver who became a porn actress. Rather than succumbing to sensationalism, HER BODY offers a thoughtful exploration of identity, autonomy and the perception of the female body in industries that both exploit physical performance, yet are met with disparate levels of respect and reverence.

Absolonová is embodied by Slovakian actress Natália Germáni. The story retraces her early triumphs in diving, subsequently derailed by a career-halting injury. The script, co-authored by Císařovská and Aneta Honzková, draws on accounts from Absolonová's sister, Lucie, portrayed by Denisa Barešová, who shared her experiences. The movie explores the sisters' complicated relationship, positioning it as an anchoring motif. The family dynamic is further accentuated by the casting of Slovak actress Zuzana Mauréry and Czech actor Martin Finger as the parents. They convey contrasting perspectives on their daughter's transition from sports to the adult film industry, mirroring broader societal attitudes towards such career shifts.
