MY ANIMAL
Heather (Bobbi Salvör Menuez, NOCTURNAL ANIMALS), an outcast teenage goalie, longs to play on the hockey team of her small northern town. She meets and falls in love with newcomer Jonny (Amandla Stenberg, BODIES BODIES BODIES), an alluring but tormented figure skater. The girls’ relationship blossoms despite Heather’s struggles with her alcoholic mother, her hidden sexual orientation, and a familial curse that transforms her into a feral wolf under the full moon. Heather and Jonny’s secret tryst soon upsets the conformity of their small community, exposing dangerous truths and igniting a passionate, violent night of personal transformation.
MY ANIMAL is a fresh new take on a coming-of-age romance, a werewolf story with an 1980s visual aesthetic. Any fans of genre film, or those who remember their love of GINGER SNAPS, will want to see Jacqueline Castel's feature debut.
