The story revolves around Dot, a deaf mute. She is sent to live with her godparents and their daughter Nina, where she discovers the secrets of her new family. She learns of an incestuous relationship between Nina and her father, which has driven Nina into a mad state, and led her to plan the murder of her father. Knowing that Dot cannot (allegedly) speak or hear, and thus cannot tell anyone, Nina confides in her the actions of her father and her plans to murder him.
Sony Pictures Classics picked up this film in May, 2006, after seeing it at the Toronto Film Festival.
