Summary
We learn [Guy Maddin]'s parents' bizarre experiments have attracted the attention of twins Wendy and Chance Hale (both roles played by Katherine E. Scharhon), who are sort of a Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy tag team and who, like all teen sleuths, want some answers. Wendy, of course, becomes Guy's love interest - as well as that of Guy's sister (Maya Lawson). When her brother Chance leaves the island, Wendy stays behind only to pose as him; this As You Like It gender-reversal plot twist leads to a dupliritous lesbian love affair, but even after "Chance" is revealed to be Wendy, both Guy's sister and he remain" devoted to her.
This is all followed by some revelations of the darker nature - like the possibility that Guy's father's experimental potion is distilled from orphan brains - but if you're looking for any sort of logical storytelling, Maddin's movies are not the place to turn. They are, like Federico Fellini's less-traditional work, simply beautiful, comic, and sometimes, disturbed expressions of his own id. As with Fellini's films, you often have no idea what's going on, but you can't ignore how the movie demands to be watched. ****See the full content of this document
