In a blue-walled bedroom, a seven year old girl watches her goldfish, plays with her dolls, draws pictures with her crayons. Her mother brushes her hair, buttons her school uniform, zips up her skirt. Her father leaves for work, kissing her mother good-bye. These are the familiar rhythms of family life, but something is wrong; the girl feels it, sees it.

(Viewed on 19/08/11): The premise is sound: a young girl decides to give her parents the silent treatment as a form of resistance against their disintegrating marriage. The problem lies within the form: the constant voice overs, giving us direct access to the child's thoughts, reduce the complexity of her interaction with the outside world because they are too precisely delineated. Children are surely more insightful than commonly depicted, but T.Q.R takes that idea to an absurd extreme.
