Plot

edit

After the death of his fiancée’s daughter while in his care, Andrew, a Deaf artist, becomes a prisoner of his own mind.[2] Tormented day and night by memories and self-blame, Andrew falls in a downward spiral of depression and anger that alienates everyone around him. It is only through a serendipitous friendship and new love with Mary that Andrew is able to sense the life around him – forgive himself, rediscover his muse, and experience the transformative power of love.
