  • ""Drama is triggered by the fatal plunge of an archeologist off a site in Mexico, leaving Ruth Matthews ... a widow. Returning to the U.S. with her son and daughter, Ruth soon has to deal with the fact that little Sally ... isn't speaking anymore. Instead, [Sally] emits almost deafening, rhythmic shouts when anything seems amiss to her and begins to do weird things, such as fearlessly walking in a rooftop rain gutter, catching a speeding baseball with her bare hand and building an extraordinary tower of cards in her room. Child psychiatrist Jake Beerlander ... wants to get his hands on this mysterious 6-year-old, whom he believes exhibits classic autistic symptoms, but Turner goes into heavy denial, arguing that Sally is just going through a phase. But, little by little, she sees that her daughter has entered a world of her own and undertake[s] a major effort to bring her out of it"--Variety review, February 15, 1993."@en
  • "After her husband's deadly accident on an archeological site in Mexico leaves Ruth Matthews a widow, she has to face an additional problem: her 6-year-old daughter refuses to speak. Instead, little Sally communicates in intense shrieks when something bothers her and spends her time building an elaboration tower out of playing cards in the middle of her room. Psychiatrist Jake Beerlander believes that Sally is suffering from autism, but Ruth refuses to accept his diagnosis -- until she's finally forced to admit that something very serious is wrong... and she'd better do something before it's too late. When conventional psychology cannot help an architect's daughter who may be sinking into autism she embarks on a journey inside her daughter's mind to rescue her."
