AMY World Cinema

A little girl (played by a luminous 8-yearold
Alana De Roma) rendered speechless
after witnessing a harrowing event years
prior is taken by her mother from the
country to the city to get their lives back
together. Her mother’s attempts to find a
cure for her daughter’s seemingly
impenetrable ailment takes her to the
limits of trust and love when she moves
her daughter to a seedy lower class
neighborhood where she reluctantly
discovers the girl can communicate only
by singing.
Director Nadia Tass has assembled a cast
of Australia’s finest actors, who combine
to make this a delightful and moving film
full of charm.
