Set in the 1940s‑50s, it follows an autistic girl raised by a mother whose own thwarted opera ambitions make her bitter and over‑protective. The mother’s fear‑driven control shadows the daughter into adulthood. A compassionate sister, living with a paralyzed arm, becomes her anchor, encouraging her to break free from the mother’s limits and pursue a fuller, more independent life.
