Traveling through the abyss, underworld dog Rainer recounts the six lives of Conann, perpetually put to death by her own future, across eras, myths and ages. From her childhood, a slave of Sanja and her barbarian horde, to her accession to the summits of cruelty at the doors of our world.

While creating SHE IS CONANN, Bertrand Mandico also filmed two short films simultaneously to create an entire "Barbarian Cycle" that brings you deeper into the world that Mandico has created. Presented in this program are: Rainer, A Vicious Dog in a Skull Valley (26min); Apocalypse After (35min); and We Barbarians (27min).

A South Asian girl living in modern day London finds her world turned upside down when she gets her first period, sparking her sexual awakening. This pits her against her family's rules. She now faces shame and stigma in her community.

On the set of a film in the making, four actresses take turns guiding us. They unknowingly drag us into their damnation.
