Logline :
A cerebral and fantastical film about a glamorous woman, Wendy on the cusp of receiving a coveted lifetime achievement award, until a mischievous and ill-natured sprite incites her down a destructive journey, revealing a shocking truth about her reality and sister.
Synopsis:
Wendy, a regal and glamorous woman is backstage in her dressing room as the crowd from the award ceremony next door erupts into cheers and swoons over her. A nameless woman stands on the stage as she incites the crowd further by reading Wendy’s introduction for her coveted Lifetime Achievement Award. Ironically, back in Wendy’s dressing room, she appears sad and apprehensive about all the praise. As Wendy begins to contemplate her reality in Shakespearian English, we spot a familiar face from literature, Robin Goodfellow. The angry sprite dismisses Wendy’s words which leads her into fanciful memories about her sister in childhood.
While trapped in Wendy’s memories, we learn that in childhood Wendy and her sister, Lynch are communicating through two different worlds with a passkey word made of gibberish, Boodobo. When she returns to the present day, Wendy’s glamourous reality begins to glitch, and we see a version of Wendy in an insane asylum preparing for a lobotomy. Unsure of which reality is true, both versions of Wendy begin their journey to their destination. But, a paparazzi camera flash triggers another journey to the past for Wendy to reveal the truth. During a shared dream between a younger Wendy and her sister, Lynch, it is revealed that Lynch was a fae (fairy) and she was forced to return to her true home in another world by a beautiful, but mysterious adult fairy. Lynch tried to bring her sister Wendy with her, but fear and confusion kept her from joining her sister. However, in reality, while the two sisters napped, Lynch suddenly died in front of young Wendy and their inconsolable Mother irrationally blamed Wendy for surviving without her sister. And it was then, left alone in a bed with her lifeless sister, paralyzed by guilt and grief, Robin Goodfellow emerged with noble intentions to shield Wendy from her terrible reality by filling her world with illusions.
Then, as Wendy makes her way onto the stage, she is unable to live in a world of Robin Goodfellow’s illusions and awakens on the operating table. The nameless woman from the stage
is revealed as the doctor prepping for Wendy’s lobotomy operation. Finally, in the dark night of the soul, as Wendy helplessly lies on the table with Robin Goodfellow saying his sincerest and heartfelt goodbyes, the beautiful, but mysterious adult fairy that returned her sister home all those years ago appears and zaps Robin Goodfellow out of this world. The adult fairy pulls out a magic rose and all is revealed. She is an adult version of Lynch, come to take her sister, Wendy home to where it is forever summer’s twilight.
