This film, according to the author, has been an exploration laboratory to accommodate his artistic interests in painting, graphics, and in the text analysis of the tale. At its heart is the interpretation of a tale. What is behind the happily-ever-after tales, when the dragon is defeated, and the noble saviour, the knight has liberated the princess from his paws? What if the knight is disinclined to love the now available beauty and is more enamoured with the thrill of the kill – finding the life’s fulfillment in contemplation of the stuffed head of the beast – the trophy? The ‘trophies’ of our day-to-day life are exposed, ideal and palpable, as they are established by the culture.
