Following the death of their father, a blind girl and her teenage brother are placed in foster care and subsequently adopted by an eccentric woman (Sally Hawkins, in top form) along with an odd mute boy.

Not as powerful as the Philippou brothers' debut feature, Talk to Me, although it sticks in your head for other reasons.
