⭐After watching: This is a very warm film. Whether it is sunny or rainy on a weekend, you can quietly enjoy the emotion brought by the Bailey family by making a pot of tea. As a voice girl from a silent family, Paula has worked hard. She has to help with all the work on the farm, sell cheese, and translate sign language. If there is no Paula in this family, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to life.
At school, Paula was a very unconfident girl. She had a crush on a male god, but she never dared to look at him. In the choir, she has an excellent voice, but she still doesn't dare to sing aloud. When he finally mustered up the courage to invite the male god to rehearse at home, he was ashamed because his first menstrual period was known to his classmates. After the male god who won the singing quota gave up the quota to himself due to the change of voice, he was cautiously worried that he would be angry, all of which showed the inferiority of this girl.
Although Paula's father, mother and brother are disabled, they live a very optimistic life every day, especially her mother, who can't see the vicissitudes of being devastated by years and hearing obstacles. They have always been proud of Paula, guarded her by their side, and communicated with the outside world through Paula. But when they heard that their daughter was going to Paris to study music, their first reaction was refusal. They couldn't accept that there was no Paula in this family. They didn't care about Paula's objections and kept her by their side. However, when the parents saw their happy daughter performing on the stage, everyone cheered and they slowly accepted Paula's idea. As a parent, there is no reason to keep your children by your side all the time. Children will grow up. They have their own dreams and their own pursuits. Even if they are reluctant, they should let go. As Paula sings in the film, "I'm not running away, I'm flying away. Please understand, I'm going to fly."
Paula's music teacher is a noble in her life, discovering her talents and sending her to the bigger world. Maybe there will be such a noble person around us, who will guide us when we are confused, and lend a helping hand when we are in distress.

⭐Summary: The Belliers let us see the hardships of life for the deaf, but at the same time let us sing about the unfortunate life. God took away the voice of the family, but gave his daughter an unparalleled singing voice. Although it is difficult for the family to communicate with the outside world, they can clearly hear each other's voices even if the surrounding is noisy.
