The mind is a terrible thing to waste. This is what religious studies professor and Kabbalah enthusiast Saul Naumann (Richard Gere) believes. He encourages his family to go that extra step, both in academics and in spirituality. But he also often alienates them as he is only able to shine his light on one of them at a time. When 9-year-old Eliza (Flora Cross) turns out to be a spelling bee prodigy, well, it's just the icing on Saul's cake, but it further tears at the family's delicate fabric. As Saul spends more and more time with Eliza, her older brother, Aaron (Max Minghella), rebels by experimenting with other religions, while their mother, Miriam (Juliette Binoche), sort of goes off the deep end. With her family disintegrating before her young eyes, it's up to Eliza to put the broken pieces of her world back together with the power of letters and words. - Yahoo movies
