At 10 years old, daughter of communists Mary finds herself trapped in an unfamiliar world of warring forces, inhuman scientific experimentation, and her own vivid imagination. As she fights to determine what is real from what is dream-like in order to escape her life and find some relief, reality and dream merge in her mind and she struggles with which is which.

This film is truly fascinating on many levels, not simply as a horror flick but as a psychological thriller as well. Character development is impressively done and its story can be quite disturbing for young viewers; nonetheless it boasts impressive performances from those portraying Celia.

Her imagination is a powerful force and leads her to create her own mini-revolution and murder act. The film is captivating, particularly the scenes with her friends discussing how they will lynch the person responsible.

The film features an eye-catching artwork cover. The images in it appear very haunting with empty spheres where eyes should be and thin slits for mouths; its gothic colors combine well with decoupaged text, maps, and equations, further heightening its unnerved quality. I would definitely recommend checking it out!
