I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
Polly Vandersma, a "organizationally impaired" temporary assistant who finally gets her first permanent job at the age of 31, is awkward, shy, and delightfully funny. Polly narrates her own story while working for the curator of an art gallery, sharing the art world's comical and bittersweet pretensions. Simultaneously, she reveals a special part of her own private world, transporting the viewer to enchanted places in this quiet attack on the notion of authority everywhere.
