Synopsis:
Born on the Russian island of Sakhalin and raised in Latvia, young Zelma grows up in constant conflict with the desperate expectations forced upon her as a young woman.
Haunted by a trio of singing sirens, she embarks on a desperate search for love and happiness, but finds only opposition and struggle at every turn.
Signe Baumane’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale is a visually ravishing animated odyssey peppered with dark humour and sly observations about the immigrant experience and humanity’s eternal battle of the sexes.
