Die Sprache des Herzens

This story was done in the 1960's with The Miracle Worker. Helen Keller was a blind and deaf American girl who was taught by Annie Sullivan to use sign language and became major figure in the movement for the rights of the handicapped. Marie(Ariana Rivoire) was a 14 year-old French girl who was taught by a young nun named Marguerite(Isabelle Carre) to communicate in the same manner as Keller. The acting is superb and the film will tear you apart. The compassion and drive shown by Sister Marguerite is the work of a living saint. In this world of madness, Marie's Story gave me hope for the possibility of redemption.
