Synopsis

Michelle McNally loses her eyesight and hearing at the tender age of eighteen months, causing her to grow up in a world where she is isolated in the blackness of her own existence. She understands nothing of the frustrating world around her, but her intelligent, curious mind is desperate to learn. Michelle grows into a violent, uncontrollable eight-year old. Her parents, Paul and Catherine, are at their wits' end, until Debraj Sahai enters their lives. An elderly alcoholic teacher for the deaf and blind, Debraj sees himself as a magician and is a disillusioned man. He takes it upon himself to bring young Michelle into the light. Together, student and teacher embark on a journey that defies all definitions, until one day, the roles are reversed...
