A deaf girl is the cause of a custodial battle between her parents over her as they try to teach her to speak.
Sensitively performed, if unnecessarily melodramatic around its sweet little child of the title, intending to give more substance to what is already a moving disability drama with Hawkins on good form as ever as the teacher.
