1930. Dallas, Texas. A young Bonnie Parker sees Clyde Burrow for the first time. It is love at first sight, but she is haunted by a premonition that her immediate attraction to Clyde will lead to her ultimate demise. What would happen if she chooses a different route? Could Bonnie be the ultimate outlaw on her own?

words from the filmmaker

I was inspired by the idea of "what if?"

What if Bonnie Parker chose a different path. She was smart and edgy and ahead of her time when she met Clyde... attracted to the criminal life. She did what she had to to raise her status at a time where women didn't have much agency. I think I've always been fascinated by historical female figures who "rode with the boys" and forged a path of their own.

why we love this film

Take us back to the Wild Wild West where the tension was high and the moves were smooth.
