WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD

Kat Connors is 17 years old when her mother disappears without trace just at the moment when she is discovering her sexuality. Kat does not seem to be really bothered by her absence and does not appear to hold it against her father who is a bit of a doormat. However little by little her dream-filled nights will have a deep impact on her and induce her to indulge in self- examination and ask about the real reasons for her mother s disappearance. The director of the brilliant movies aboom Mysterious Skin and The Doom Generation has created a thriller that deals both with adolescence and a disfonctional American family using a mysterious story of a disappearance tinged with black humour as a backdrop.
