From a riddle-speaking butterfly, a unicorn learns that she is supposedly the last of her kind, all the others having been herded away by the Red Bull. The unicorn sets out to discover the truth behind the butterfly's words. She is eventually joined on her quest by Schmendrick, a second-rate magician, and Molly Grue, a now middle-aged woman who dreamed all her life of seeing a unicorn. Their journey leads them far from home, all the way to the castle of King Haggard.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A bittersweet fantasy quest that moves with dreamlike pacing, blending genuine melancholy about loss and the passage of time with moments of whimsy and wonder. It's a film that lingers in memory like a half-remembered fable.
