With a voice cast led by Dagmara Domińczyk, New York-based Latvian filmmaker Signe Baumane delves into traditional gender roles, the biochemistry of romance, and recent Eastern European history.
Sometimes life is so absurd in its pain and unfairness that a girl’s just gotta sing — or at least rewrite the songs she’s hearing. It takes a while for Zelma, the scrappy main character of the droll and vibrant, to reach the point where she’s calling the musical shots, figuratively speaking. It’s an exhilarating and hard-won moment when she does.
Zelma is a fighter, albeit one who’s sometimes defeated, and she’s voiced with spirit and colorful warmth by), both as a character in various stages of childhood and young adulthood, and as the grown-up storyteller, looking back via narration. Her story begins on Sakhalin Island, off the eastern coast of what’s now Russia, where her tomboy exuberance scandalizes the village busybodies.
The first to pop the question, when she’s 17, is a gallery owner twice her age who will back out of the proposition in cowardly fashion. The second, Sergei, will torture her with his cruelty and selfishness over the course of their marriage. And the third, Bo , a Swede she meets during her first visit to the West, will thrill and then disappoint her until, well after they split, she understands his struggle.
