About Damsel
Elodie, a young woman poised to join a royal life, is swept into a marriage that seems designed to secure a fragile alliance. Yet the ceremony is interrupted by a harrowing demand from the realm's fiercest myth a fire-breathing dragon who has claimed sacrifices before. The groom and the court promise safety if Elodie adheres to ancient rites, but she must survive a gauntlet of loyalties and ambushes while the city around her collapses into fear. As danger closes in she discovers unlikely allies among loyal guards and forgotten voices from the past. The story blends breath-taking action with dark fantasy as Elodie fights for her own fate. Her resolve grows as dangers multiply, but courage anchors her.
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, with a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, Damsel arrives as a high fantasy action adventure built from an original concept rather than a pre existing book. The film leans into mythic visuals and swordplay heavy sequences.
