Fragment from the film «The Miracle Worker». It is based on the real story of the remarkable scientist Helen Keller, who in early childhood, having survived the disease, lost her hearing and sight. And in 1904 she graduated from Harvard, became a linguist, writer, teacher, mathematician. Mark Twain called her a great person, and she said: “I read some of his beautiful stories on the lips of Mark Twain. I can feel the squinting of his eyes in his handshake.» Helen Keller loved life and knew the true value of its most ordinary manifestations. She learned to speak, read, ride a bike and horseback, swim and row. And all this is thanks to her teacher, Annie Sullivan.

So.

A deaf-blind girl lives in a loving family, her parents are ready for anything for her and invited a teacher — a girl who herself went through half-blindness. The contact between the girl and the caregiver improved immediately — but after a couple of hours it turned out that the unfortunate girl was at the same time a terrible family tyrant who did not allow something to be wrong for her. The teacher decides to give her a fight. Get ready — this is a difficult story. In a month, the girl will take on a completely human appearance, learn the first words and say to Annie with her fingers: “I love you!”. And you remember the phrase of Annie Sullivan: «The room turned into ruins, but the girl folded the napkin.»
