The West. A prospector is awakened by the sound of music outside his cave to see an animal band and a chorus line of dancing cacti.

Fair Phyllis affirms to all women "You're not alone!" in the craziness of busy, multi-tasking lives--what with the demands of career, the kids or just trying to get a moment alone with your man. This short animated film delights in celebrating the resiliency and resourcefulness of the female sex. Set in an 18th century pastoral countryside, Fair Phyllis the shepherdess struggles with her chaotic woolly world. Will she find balance or crack under the shear stress of it all?
