A woman feeds dreams to a dragon beneath Mont Saint Michel. French fantasy gets WEIRD.
Legend has it that Archangel Michael confronted the Dragon and imprisoned him under a huge stone called today Mont Saint Michel. Winter 1991, the Mount is deserted. Unaware of the curse that keeps her there, Sarah transforms herself every night into a strange creature that feeds the dragon the dreams of sleeping men.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely on location during actual winter shutdowns of Mont Saint Michel, giving it that genuinely abandoned atmosphere no set could replicate.
This belongs to a weird micro-genre of 1990s French fantasy films obsessed with cursed women and coastal landscapes — see also 'La Belle Noiseuse' and 'Les Amants du Pont-Neuf', though this one actually has a dragon.
