Runtime: 90 minA story of a young boy who becomes an elective mute after witnessing what he believes to be the killing by his older brother of a teenage boy. The young boy's brother then tells him not to say anything because of the trouble it would cause in the family... so he doesn't say anything again. The problem is that the young boy so enjoys his acceptance by others of his mutism that it brings his family, a loving and caring farm family, to the brink of financial ruin in medical and psychological costs to cure him. Based on a true story, this is the intelligent telling of a family in crisis, and the work of doctors in dealing with this mental illness.这部电视电影改编自真人真事，对小孩子复杂奥妙的心理题目有细腻描画。故事主人翁史蒂芬有一天俄然不措辞了，父亲吉姆和母亲莉迪亚感应十分懊末路。为了切磋儿子为何不措辞的本相，父母亲花了很多钱请心理大夫对他进行医治，颠末持久的耐烦沟通以后终究揭开了史蒂芬心中的奥秘。本来他曾目击哥哥被杀的过程，少年凶手的兄弟警告他不克不及声张，不然会对他全家晦气，因而，史蒂芬选择了甚么话都不谈。导演布鲁斯．皮特曼以灵敏的感受描述一个本来密切的家庭一旦遭逢危机时的因应之道，喜好《伧夫俗人》的不雅众应当也会欣赏本片日剧tv
