In England, 1925, a young woman arrives at the home of John and Anna Thorpe, begging for food. Soon, realization dawns that this visitor is unable to hear, speak, read or write, showing evidence of mistreatment. The family welcomes her into their home and family, and without knowing her given name, they call her Ellen. Together, they strive to bridge their communication barriers. As the family lovingly guide her into this strange new world beyond her past, they realise that they, and everyone whose lives she has touched, have been gifted far more from her than they could ever give her in return.
