Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song
Ten-year-old Ida believes that the mysterious angelic singing resounding across the village graveyard is the only thing keeping her beloved Grandma alive. So she decides to join the school choir—even though she is absolutely tone deaf.
Ida is a spirited ten-year-old girl growing up in the rural Slovenian countryside where she lives with her parents and grandmother who is her greatest support. But when grandma’s health suddenly worsens, Ida becomes convinced that only the mysterious singing from the nearby cemetery can help her. So she decides to join the school choir—but her voice is so out of tune that she is rejected at the audition. Crossing the line between reality and the magical world, Ida must face the loss and changes that come as part of growing up.
