Bee Season (2005)
Die kleine Eliza Naumann hat eine besondere Begabung für Worte. Problemlos buchstabiert sie selbst die schwierigsten Begriffe. Als ihre Eltern ihr Talent entdecken, ändert sich das Leben der ganzen Familie. Elizas Vater Saul Professor für Religion, widmet sich mit an Obsession grenzender Hingabe Elizas Training für den nationalen Buchstabierwettbewerb in Washington. Er glaubt in ihrer Gabe einen Weg zu Gott gefunden zu haben. Seine Frau Miriam dagegen leidet unter der neuen, intensiven Verbundenheit zwischen Vater und Tochter, die schmerzvolle Erinnerungen in ihr weckt. Auch Elizas älterer Bruder - einst Sauls Liebling und Stolz - rebelliert gegen den Verlust der väterlichen Zuwendung. Je schwieriger die Worte werden, die Eliza buchstabiert, desto mehr bricht das familiäre Gefüge in sich zusammen.
