Synopsis:
Crows is a short and bittersweet film about an alienated and adventurous nine-year old girl. Living in a seaside city of narrow cobbled streets and deserted beaches, she is a lonely latchy kid neglected by her overworked single mother. The girl's life is shown through a series of evocative vigenettes - comic, lyrical, menacing - arranged in associative patterns that emulate the free-ranging path of a child's mind. Charming but never cloying, delineating a world that is both richly expressive and vividly sensual, Crows joins such classics as To Kill A Mockingbird and Spirit of the Beehive as one of those rare films to successfully capture the inner world of childhood.
