| Plot |
Selma (Björk) is a Czech immigrant, a single mother working in a factory in rural America. Her salvation is her passion for music, specifically, the all-singing, all-dancing numbers found in classic Hollywood musicals. Selma harbors a sad secret: she is losing her eyesight and her son Gene stands to suffer the same fate if she can't put away enough money to secure him an operation. When a desperate neighbor falsely accuses Selma of stealing his savings, the drama of her life escalates to a tragic finale.
***
Česká emigrantka a svobodná matka Selma žije se svým desetiletým synkem ve Spojených státech. Pracuje jako dělnice v továrně a s neoblomnou houževnatostí šetří na náročnou operaci, která má jejího synka zachránit před dědičnou slepotou. Selma je mezi kolegy oblíbená pro svou přímočarou bezelstnost. Stejné vlastnosti ji ale zároveň dovedou k nejtěžší životní zkoušce, při které Selmě nepomohou ani její milované hollywoodské muzikály. |
