GREGOR AND THE SQUONK

​Set in a Pennsylvania forest during the dead of winter, Gregor and the Squonk centers around Gregor Courtepy, a buffoonish hunter deeply devoted to his wife, Margaret. After a countless number of plastic surgeries leaves her broken and self-loathing, Gregor enlists the help of their doctor to find a creature rumored to grant eternal beauty to whoever captures it. A modern fairy-tale that's equal parts touching and twisted, Gregor and the Squonk examines how far people are willing to go for the sake of beauty.
