Description
A world in slow motion. When the rotation of the earth noticeably slows, day-to-day life is put into perspective. For eleven-year-old Julia, this phenomenon brings about an awkward adolescence, loneliness and despair. As the world around her changes, Julia witnesses its impact on community, family and herself. The slowing of time forces a new reality to emerge, one that is both profound and unsettling. A story of quiet majesty, exploring what it means to live in a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
