Description: Description: Unusual sound home movie created by an imaginative parent in the 1970s who filmed a birthday party, then apparently created the soundtrack by showing the film to the birthday girl, Alexandra, and inviting her to narrate the film in an interpretive, retrospective mode. The result evokes the classic children's films of the 1970s that express children's inner states and inner experiences.
