Slow and introspective desert adventure following the titular Gwen trekking through a post-apocalyptic world to retrieve her kidnapped friend. What transpires is a wonderfully ethereal collage of warm and hazy tones soaked in delightfully grainy camerawork and a story that prefers vibe over logic. Aesthetically speaking, it's the closest one can get to an adaptation of Dune by way of René Laloux (IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL TIME MASTERS DOESN'T EXIST), assuming you remove the political and militaristic aspects. You've entered an alien landscape, a Fantastic Planet, if you will, and you oughta surrender to it, bub.
