In the aftermath, the remaining members of the self-declared Commune—Diana, whose prophetic visions failed to protect her beloved friend; Saratoga, a musician; and Yunuen, a visual artist—wade through their individual and shared grief while piecing together the mystery of Eugenia’s death from the pages of her field journal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern retelling of the Greek tragedy of Iphigenia in the context of contemporary Mexico, Feral interweaves narrative timelines to tell a story of female friendship, mourning, and resistance against gendered violence and extractivism.
