The story

The film focuses on Anne Sullivan's struggle to draw the young Helen Keller, a blind and prelingually deaf girl, out of her world of darkness and silence during the 1880s. Helen has been unable to communicate with her family except through physical temper tantrums since an illness took her eyesight and hearing from her at the age of 19 months old. She is allowed to eat other people's food with her hands, knock over or break items, and basically do whatever else she desires.
