Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world.

In this radically queer version of As You Like It, our main characters run away from home in order to become who they really are. In the Forest of Arden, you're just as likely to fall in love with someone else as you are to fall in love with yourself, as each character leans into what makes them happiest.
