11-year-old Eliza Naumann comes from an odd family;
they all divert their emotional frustrations into secret channels. When
Eliza unexpectedly begins winning spelling bees, what had been a stable
dynamic within the family becomes disrupted; long held secrets emerge,
and a latent spiritual yearning is awakened in her withdrawn father Saul
and compulsive mother Miriam. As Eliza moves closer and closer to the

surprising discovery and jarring uncertainty...Words may define us, but
it's love that connects us.
