The tale of the snake retold.

Smart, successful, and charming, Elsie is the perfect girlfriend; she also happens to be a serial monogamist, with a long history of broken hearts. When Elsie breaks up with her long-standing girlfriend to pursue another woman, she faces her mother’s disapproval, conflicting advice from friends, and the nagging suspicion that she may have made a big mistake.

Not another coming out story, this is a fresh coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy.

"In the Town of Banff they must have 50 candy stores on the main street. They sell these little candy deer. Banff is a National Park and so the real dear are all around you, and the stuffed and mounted ones too. I played with the images of the deer and idea of anthropomorphism in this piece. The sound track really up the ante on that." - Christina Zeidler
