SPOILERS!!
In this video, I'll be diving deep into the symbolism and hidden meanings behind the mural that appears in the opening of Midsommar (2019). I'll explain the intricate dynamics between Dani, Christian, and Pelle, examining how their relationships evolve amidst their assimilation into the Harga community.

Midsommer is intentional. It shows us what happens before we experience how the elusive Harga's preordain Dani's role as their May Queen. The fantastic murals, illustrated by Ragnar Persson are a guide that I use to uncover the layers of meaning woven throughout Air Aster's twisted folk tale.
