Comments from the film Director
This post apocalyptic western is mixing genres (western, fantasy, horror). It's willing to celebrate a heroine between pacifism and combativeness to turn the figure of the traditional western masculine hero upside down. This heroine is facing bad men or the savage face of nature that takes its revenge on humans. The aesthetics are very important, also in the violence, that is a reference to B series. Music is also a main piece of the movie narration.
