Director Statement

Druid is foremost about womanhood and connecting with nature, which is an integral part of embracing our feminine energy. This narrative follows a woman who was forced into prostitution from an early age and has only known bondage. However, her liberation emerges when she encounters an embodiment of Mother Nature, who embraces her for who she truly is. This story serves as a powerful reminder that irrespective of our life circumstances or backgrounds, Gaia will always extend a welcoming embrace to us.
