Tideland

Jodelle Ferland stars in this fantasy drama co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam. After her drug-addicted mother's overdose, city kid Jeliza-Rose (Ferland) is taken by her well-meaning father to a house he'd purchased for his now-dead mother in a remote rural area. The youngster's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic as she struggles to deal with her new, rather grim reality.

The local people are a truly motley bunch with more than a few bizarre idiosyncrasies, further fuelling Jeliza's imagination.
