A lyrical essay film about young girls auditioning for a film project, and the ghost of one girl who is not at the audition. As the girls present themselves to the camera, each hopeful and uncertain, the story unfolds of Linnie Moore, who died in fourth grade. Beginning as a meditation on the lost girl, the narrative pulls the viewer ever deeper into a realm of night journeys, half-memories and foreshadowing of things to come, a wistful tribute to the potential and mystery inherent in every life. Some of the girls seem like polished actresses and some are so disarmingly awkward that you wonder if they too are not actresses. One could question the filmmaker´s right to speculate about the inner thoughts and motivations of a girl who dies so young. It is also striking to see feminist 'social issues' treated in such a lyrical and experimental manner.
