Embracing the anger and grief that we have been told to ingnore.A woman who knows grief and is transformed by it into a savage creature by it - half bird, half wild beast. Her feminity buried deep underneath. She lives as a wild beast in the mountains and forest consumed by her anger and grief for a long time. Many warriors attempt to fight her, but she devours them all. She responds not to the strength of an arm, but the tenderness of a heart. There is more to women than taming.

WATCH THE TRAILER

"Sometimes, madness seems like the only possible response to the insanity of the civilised world; sometimes, holding ourselves together is not an option, and the only way forwards is to allow ourselves to fall apart. As the story of Mis shows, that madness can represent an extreme form of initiation, a trigger for profound transformation." Sharon Blackie
