Synopsis of ‘Damsel’, the new Millie Bobby Brown movie on Netflix
The film revolves around Elodie, a young woman who agrees to marry a handsome prince, but once the wedding is over, she realizes that she was actually deceived and her now-husband didn’t love her, but used her to settle an old relationship. debt. To get rid of her, he throws her into a cave with an angry dragon, where the protagonist must fend for herself to defend herself from the creature.
“Damsel” means “girl” in English. The film’s title refers to the archetype of a damsel in distress, who must be rescued by a prince or hero.
The film starring Millie Bobby Brown tries to challenge this popular character in traditional stories: “She’s a girl who doesn’t need saving. She saves herself in many ways. It subverts what you expect: you expect the prince to come back and save her, and… no. “Don’t wait for the prince,” commented the actress in “Tudum.”

Where to watch “Damsel”?
As it is a Netflix original movie, it is only available on this platform.
Where was the movie ‘Damsel’ filmed?
Although the film transports viewers to eerie caves, in real life, these were nothing more than a set. According to “Decider,” these scenes, as well as most of the castle interiors, were shot at Troubadour Meridian Water Studios, located in London.
But the movie “Damsel” also has a touch of reality. Screen Rant reports that many of the outdoor shots were shot in Portugal, specifically in the towns of Batalha, Tomar, Sortelha and Serra da Estrela.
Is the movie ‘Damsel’ based on a book?
The short answer is no, but there’s a reason many people think so: the film starring Millie Bobby Brown is an original screenplay, but author Evelyn Skyelo adapted it into a novel.
“The easiest way to think about it is this: Dan Mazo wrote the original script. I was able to read a first draft and was given the freedom to write my own version of the story, which eventually became the novel. Both the book and the film may have the same origin, but each of them is also a unique work of art,” the author explained in October 2022 about her partnership with Netflix.
