John's family lives well, owning a single-family villa and a luxury car, but both have problems mentally: Kate quit his job because of alcoholism and nearly drowned Maxine, and John had cheated. They have a pair of children, the older brother Daniel is in a period of rebellion, and the younger sister Maxine is congenitally deaf. Daniel didn't have a good impression of Esther, who was acting a little weird, but Maxine and Esther got along quite well.
However, with the arrival of Esther, all kinds of bizarre events ensued. Kate vaguely felt that there was an unknown side behind this little girl with an angelic face. In revenge for her classmates to make fun of her, Esther pushed her classmates down a slide and injured her ankle with stitches. She was afraid that Sister Abigail at the orphanage would investigate her information and killed the nun with a hammer. She was worried that Daniel would expose herself and set fire to the wooden house, causing him to fall and be seriously injured. He attempted to kill After failing to kill and seducing John to death, Kate discovered her true identity from the label Saarne on the end page of Esther's bible:
Esther was not from an orphanage in Russia, but Saarne, a mental hospital in Estonia. One of the most violent patients at the facility, having killed seven people as far as the hospital knows. Born in 1976, she is 33 years old and suffers from a rare hormonal disorder, also known as hypopituitarism, that causes her to be short and childlike. She often pretended to be a little girl and cheated everywhere. A family in Estonia was tricked into adopting her. She tried to seduce her adoptive father, so she killed their family and set the house on fire. She came to an American family to be adopted a year ago and entered an orphanage after murder and arson.
In the final fight, Kate kicked Esther into the glacier, and the whole play ended.
"Have you been pretending you can't play?" "I think you enjoyed teaching me how to play the piano. For someone like you who loves music, having a son who doesn't understand music and a daughter who is deaf must be very frustrating."
The plot is average, the more you watch it, the more abusive it becomes. Daniel could have exposed Esther's misdeeds long ago. John was so stupid that he found out that Esther had seduced him, and then the power was cut off at home and he was killed by himself to investigate. After the mystery of Esther's identity is revealed, the fight falls into a rut.
Esther's fate is also quite tragic. It would be a completely different situation to have 18-year-old youth if the disease started a few years later, not to mention that she is so good at painting and playing the piano.
The fluorescent erotic murals on the walls are great, Isabel Foreman's acting is great, and the final look after taking off her makeup is really manly. Wouldn't there be psychological shadows for children to play this kind of movie? Maxine looks beautiful.
