From the back:
Shaped by Meg Tilly's exacting cinematic sensibility, Singing Songs explores how one family lives, centerless, caught in a flux of emotion and vilence that touches and transforms each of its members. Nomadic and insular, Anna's family follows the shifting sands of temporary employment, fleeing from social workers, schools, and nearly all the conventions of society. Anna pretends fiercely, imagines grandly, and gradually, with all the force of innocence and a fierce loyalty to herself, seizes pieces of the world as her own. Singing Songs is the masterful realization fo a young girl's journey to adulthood in a chaotic, abusive and fragmented world. It is the story fo a strange and beautiful metamorphosis and a profound statement about the dark and secret places of family life.
