Set in the rural countryside of Illinois, during the great depression. 'Neither Shadow of Turning' is the story of Poulum (pronounced Pooh-lum) an awkward little girl, bullied because of her unusual visual impairment. To fill the void of loneliness she creates make-believe playmates (shadows). Poulum's only keepsake of her deceased mom, is thrown deep into the 'Forbidden Forest'. We journey into the woods through Poulum's mind and so does her shadow playmates.
