SYNOPSIS: From award winning director Rebecca Miller comes this poignant coming-of-age story about a young girl caught between the harsh realities of a difficult family life and the fantasy world she escapes to inside her head.  When Angela and her 6-year-old sister Ellie leave home to embark on a fantastical journey, the girls seamlessly navigate their way through a beautiful, mystical and enchanting world.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: A surreal film.  The two main characters, Angela, played by Miranda Stuart Ryne, and her six-year old sister, Ellie, played by Charlotte Blythe, have just moved into a new upstate New York home. Their mother, Mae (Anna Thompson), a manic-depressive ex-singer, has an erratic relationship with her two daughters and her husband, Andrew (John Ventimiglia). Sometimes, she's sweet and joyful; on other occasions, she's violent and self-destructive. Angela doesn't understand her mother, but she's sure that her own sin and spiritual inadequacies are somehow responsible for Mae's problems, so, with Ellie in tow, she runs away from home, following obscure "signs from God" in a quest to purify herself, and, as a result, save her mother.
