Maya (director, writer and star Cybela Clare) isn't understood by her parents, who wonder why she sleeps with her parrot Romeo (Clare's real-life parrot Baby Rainbow) and also why she cares so much for animals and their place on our planet. They send her to a psychiatrist, Dr. Zerkov (Yanni Posnakoff), who understand her and gives her hope.
Then she heads off to Thailand, a place where she learns how elephants are being endangered and also meets a seductive man who has a secret agenda. Monks sleep with tigers, elephants can paint and we all learn something.
Clare makes documentaries about similar subjects as well as narrative movies. This one tells a story that seems autobiographical about how she came to love and take care of animals despite the way her family treated her. As always with her films, I'd love to learn more. Her bio says, "Fluent in six languages, Cybela Clare is an Ivy League graduate and former Drama Tutor at Harvard University. A proud member of the Explorers Club, Cybela has traveled the world documenting international wildlife rescues, as incorporated in several of her films."
But how did we get here? How much of this movie is true? And what motivated her to make it?
It's my goal to get those answers.
