John Leeds (William Hurt), är en idealistisk speciallärare, som tar sig an den envisa, döva flickan Sarah (Marlee Matlin, som vann en Oscar för bästa skådespelerska ). Till att börja med ser Leeds Sarah som en utmaning för sig som lärare. Men snart utvecklas deras lärar/elev-förhållande och blommar ut i en så passionerad kärlek att den spränger den mur av tystnad som hållit dem åtskilda. Baserad på en Broadway-pjäs.
