Conann, who is just a child, watches helplessly as her mother is brutally executed before her eyes. The proud barbarian will get her revenge, but afterwards loses her memory, before, unfortunately, getting it back. Conann presents six ten-year periods of the tragic life of this female version of the powerful character made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Played by different actors, her life as a wild young adult is interpreted by Christa Theret. Depicting Robert E. Howard’s hero with his unique imagination, the director of The Wild Boys and After Blue (Dirty Paradise) presents an epoch-spanning, feminist heroic fantasy and a political statement condemning all forms of totalitarianism.
