Welcome to the world of Jeliza-Rose, the young heroine and narrator of "Tideland".
What has brought Jeliza-Rose from the big city to the prairies? And why is her former rockabilly guitarist father not talking to her anymore? And who is making all that noise in the attic?
Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood and escapes into the fantasies of her own active imagination. This is a fantasy world to rival all others; here fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures.
"Tideland" is as optimistic as it is surreal, as humourous as it is suspenseful - a celebration of the power of a child's imagination. | Images: Poster and Stills (click to enlarge) | |
