Synopsis :

Conann watches helplessly as her mother is executed as a child. The proud barbarian will take her revenge and lose her memory before – unfortunately for her – finding it again. Conann presents six periods in the tragic life, in ten-year intervals, of a feminized version of the virile character popularized by Arnold Schwarzenegger, through several faces including that of Christa Theret as a wild young adult. By revisiting Robert E. Howard’s hero with his own unique imagination, the director of Wild Boys and After Blue offers us feminist heroic fantasy at the crossroads of eras and a political charge to denounce all forms of totalitarianism.
