Described by Director Terry Gilliam as 'Alice in Wonderland meets Psycho', and based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, Tideland depicts the world of Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), a world where fireflies have names, squirrels talk, and the heads of four dolls, long since separated from their bodies, keep her company. Both Jeliza-Rose's parents are junkies. When her mother (Jennifer Tilly) dies, she embarks on a strange journey with her father, Noah (Jeff Bridges), a rock and roll musician well past his prime. The film drifts between reality and fantasy as Jeliza-Rose escapes the vast loneliness of her new existence into the fantasy world created in her own mind.
