Plot Summary:A bag full of symbolic folklore about werewolves, or, rather, their sexual connotation. Granny tells her granddaughter Rosaleen strange, disturbing tales about innocent maidens falling in love with handsome, heavily eyebrowed strangers with a smoldering look in their eyes about sudden disappearances of spouses when the moon is round the wolves are howling in the woods about babies found inside stork eggs, in a stork nest high up a tree etc., etc. Of course the story of Little Red Ridinghood is also present, with a very handsome he-wolf! (And of course this he-wolf consumes Grandmother, but consumes Little Red Ridinghood). All the stories are somehow reducible to loss of innocence, and fear ofhunger for (a newly acquired sense of) sexuality their Freudian character is mirrored in their dreamlike shapes. This movie is not really a horror movie its more a multiple tale about growing up into adolescence.
