Tideland Movie
A ten-year-old girl named Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland) seems to have the bad luck to grow up in a family of junkies. Her aging father, Noah (Jeff Bridges), is a faded rock 'n' roll musician who has long-lasting drug trips in the evenings, and her erratic mother, Queen Gunhilda (Jennifer Tilly), is also dependent on drugs. Nevertheless, the little girl loves her family because as the old saying goes "you can't choose your parents." When his wife's unhealthy lifestyle brings her to her grave, Noah decides to take his daughter to a ramshackle remote house situated in the middle of wheat fields and prairies. To escape from harsh reality, Jeliza-Rose retreats into the realm of her own imagination. Her fairyland is populated by talking squirrels with shark heads, myriads of fireflies, resurrected bogmen, and bodiless doll heads who keep her company.
