The Horse Tail

2024 · 75 min

A slow, unsettling puzzle of memory and myth, where ordinary lives fray into strange, dreamlike territory.

Overview: The ponytail is a dumpster version of the Oedipus myth. Diana, a prostitute from Vienna, returns to the city. She has a trace, memory gaps, and milk started flowing from her breasts. Twenty-year-old orphan-outcast May suspects that she may be its author. Diana's return coincides with one made in the neighboring forest. May is arrested for being violent on police officer Max's wife.
