Storyline
| Plot Summary |
At a Balkan folk song and dance camp in the woods of Mendocino, California, Sarah reunites with her old friend Isolde and with a song she learned years before about dragons who entwine themselves in women's hair and carry them off through the forest, burning it as they go. When Sarah pursues a romance with a new camper Steph, the nights of sensual secrets and singing with Isolde come to an abrupt end. Sarah and Steph explore a simple attraction, but in Sarah's dreams, women spin their wild hair and Isolde darkly approaches. When reality and fantasy collide, Sarah finds that the dragons she's visioning may be inside her. Written by Anonymous |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In an interview with writer/director Josephine Decker and director of photography Ashley Conner, Conner told a story about a funny incident while filming outside on location. She pointed out that Decker has a habit of just getting naked at any time and having zero reservations about it. "There were six of us: three actors, Josephine, me, and the sound guy. [The actors] were going to simulate having sex and basically at a certain point, they were feeling a bit uncomfortable. So I was like, I'll take off my top. And I had to run up a hillside. I was just in my bra. Josephine, I think you were naked. The sound guy was not, but he was having a good time and there were boners everywhere." See more » |
