DESERT OF JUNE is a one woman western. A fragment of a woman's journey in which her dreams, illusions and fears collide with nature. June speaks of her perfect life, her wonderful husband and their young son Joey but she appears disheveled and distraught. Where she came from and where she's going is not obvious. Although confused, she fights the elements, her own expectations and loneliness. Stuck in metaphysical surroundings that underline her experiences as existential, June's sentiments become more and more delusional. In the end her instinct to correspond to the environment saves her from madness. A lone portrayal against the backdrop of Monument Valley, Desert Of June combines elements from western cinema and projects them onto a female heroine.
