The story begins with the birth of a beautiful calf in Bailiye's cowshed, and the life of the girl Paula Bailiye has quietly changed. Paula's parents and younger brother are both deaf and mute. Although Paula is still a student, in addition to helping the family with farm work and making cheese, she is also responsible for contacting her own business, selling cheese in the market, and making cheese for her family. Sign language interpreter.
When Paula follows Gabriel, a boy she has a crush on, to sign up for the school's music club, music teacher Thomason accidentally discovers her talent and encourages her to be admitted to the Paris Conservatory. Suddenly enlightened Paula is both delighted that her future is full of color and worried that the family who depends on her will not agree. In the tangle, Paula is still irresistible "going far away" and moving towards her music dream.
As for music, Paula sang silently with earphones in the beginning to practice aloud on the country road, from hesitation at the beginning to firm confidence later, from unintentional meddling at the beginning to later love. This is not only the process of Paula's "singing skills" maturing, but also the process of her growth in life, just as the calf at the beginning can roam freely on the grass.
Paula's change was initially unacceptable to the family. After more than ten years, her parents and younger brother got used to the "sound person" Paula as their translator and navigator. On the one hand, they began to reject Paula's participation in family work and her father's campaign, and on the other hand, they blamed Paula's "willfulness" for various mistakes and inconveniences. When her mother's drunkenness and crying evoked her guilt and abandonment, Gabriel and her teacher's persistence brought her back to singing. Later, Paula's finale in the school party and the emotional tears of the audience finally gained the understanding of the family. His father touched her throat and listened to her emotional singing. He was moved by her, and the whole family escorted her to the competition the next morning.
As another good seedling in the eyes of the teacher, the young Gabriel is also her singing partner. Even if there was a dispute between them, the two still sang a duet together to encourage each other, and by the way, they showed a sprouting appearance.
Throughout the film, the growth of the calf mirrors the growth of Paula; the deafness of the family is different from the beautiful singing of Paula; the beauty of the mother and the charm of friends contrast with the simplicity of Paula; the failure of the teacher and the slowness of Paula Rise; the support of teachers, Gabriel and friends against the opposition of the family; the tedious domestic labor against the hopeful path of music. All the stumbling and stumbling in life scenes turned into air at the end, accompanied by Paula's singing "go away" and disappeared without a trace.
