The story

With her marriage to womaniser Carlo Landi in ashes, wealthy and childless Margaret Landi finds an emotional outlet in educating a 15-year-old deaf, mute, and blind Irish girl named Esther Costello. Esther's disabilities are the result of a childhood trauma and are psychosomatic rather than physical. As Costello makes progress with Braille and sign language, she is seen as an example of triumph over adversity.
