"The Cailleach was dependent on this one thing... every hundred years she must get back to the water and immerse herself so that she might become young again." This film is an interpretation of fragments of the ancient myth of the "cailleach", old hag, otherworld female, mother earth, sovereignty queen, or witch. Told using a large scale puppet and actors moving through real landscape.
