Mandy la piccola sordomuta (1952)
Quando i genitori della piccola Mandy si accorgono che la bambina è sorda, iniziano a dividersi sul modo in cui gestire la situazione. La madre, Christine, è convinta che se ben seguita la piccola potrà progredire, imparare a parlare e trovare una sua strada. Il padre Harry invece - in qualche modo vergognandosi della disabilità della figlia - vuole tenerla in casa e nasconderla. Osservando le interazioni di Mandy con i suoi coetanei Christine decide di seguire il proprio istinto e lascia il marito, affidando Mandy alle cure di un istituto specializzato in grado di seguirla adeguatamente.
