On a suffocating planet inhabited only by women, teen Roxy discovers mysterious murderer Katarzyna Buszowska (AKA Kate Bush) trapped in the sand, and relases her. Big mistake…

As punishment, Roxy’s village sends her and her mother Zora (the colony’s hairdresser) to hunt down the scary, yet fascinating woman.
This premise - which could be the opening of a Western - is a pretext that allows Bertrand Mandico (The Wild Boys) to develop his rich and sensual universe, alive with colours and textures, exotic plants and eerie creatures. In this strange world that obeys its own rules, sci-fi meets eroticism, dreams turn into nightmares, body hair grows inward and robots are named Louis Vuitton. A feast for the senses, this film confirms Mandico’s incredible artistic direction, his sense of humour and his unconditional love of cinema. A sensory cinematic wild ride like no other.
