Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
A ruler in ancient Albania becomes "Queen of Denial" after the king dies and proceeds to eat her way to immortality in this eccentric Albanian fantasy. Just as the royal sculptor finishes a huge horse, the king dies. The queen cannot accept this and decrees that the whole kingdom is immortal. She then begins eating double portions of food while the dead king slowly wastes away. While the queen eats herself to oblivion, the local monks engage in sexual antics with traveling hookers. The image of the giant horse looms large within the kingdom.
