Melody has a photographic memory. She remembers everything she has seen and heard in her eleven years of life, and words and sounds have a taste and color to her. She is the smartest in school. Only no one suspects it. The teachers think that the girl is slow to learn, and from lesson to lesson they repeat the first letters of the alphabet with her. It would seem so much easier - to explain to those around you how much you know, what you love, what you want. But try explaining it if your body does not obey you at all and simple human speech seems like an unattainable luxury... And yet the day will soon come when Melody will have the opportunity to say the first words in her life. Will they hear her?
