Plot

Clara, (Sylvie Testud), works in a birdshop. She is concerned about her deaf-mute daughter Anna, (Camille Gauthier), whom she is bringing up on her own. She has never spoken a single word. Clara herself is illiterate. Ever since her grandmother Baba, whom she adored, had been the victim of an attack when she was reading her a story, she has always refused to learn to read and write. Now that the silence of her daughter Anna is causing her to be bullied by her peers, Clara feels obliged to withdraw her from her school, and to enrol her in a school for the deaf-mute, run by Vincent, (Sergi López). Vincent, the principal, suggests giving his new pupil particular classes to teach her Sign Language, and so facilitate Anna's integration.

 

French Summary:

Les Mots bleus est un film français réalisé en 2004 par Alain Corneau et sorti en 2005. Il s'agit de l'adaptation du roman Leur histoire de Dominique Mainard.

Clara, qui travaille dans une oisellerie, se fait du souci pour sa fille, Anna, qu'elle élève seule et qui n'a jamais prononcé une seule parole. La jeune femme, elle, est illettrée. Depuis que sa grand-mère, Baba, qu'elle adorait, a été victime d'une attaque alors qu'elle lui lisait une histoire, elle a toujours refusé d'apprendre à lire et à écrire. Le silence d'Anna lui vaut d'être martyrisée par ses camarades, si bien que Clara est obligée de la retirer de l'école et de l'inscrire dans un établissement pour sourds et muets, tenu par Vincent. Celui-ci décide de donner des cours particuliers à sa nouvelle élève afin de lui apprendre le langage des signes et ainsi faciliter son intégration...
