This is an interesting look at a young man who is silent with autism but finds his voice in a miraculous way.

Young Nick is autistic and has only spoken once in the past. His father is a dentist and both parents care deeply for their son. One day young Nick wanders into a canyon and hurts his leg. Some immigrant migrant workers aid him, especially an elderly man called El Abuelo. This grandfather figure feeds young Nick beans and carries him on his back. El Abuelo shows Nick an outside church they have and he mentions the Virgin Mary wanted the church built. He is a man of faith who says he prays to God every day. When the police and Nick’s parents arrive there is a moment of confusion. Did these workers help Nick or kidnap him? The ending might leave you a bit sad but it makes a strong point. How do we treat people who have shown a kindness?

Although this is a bit sophisticated for the very young, it is a wholesome short film which strongly makes its point. We are glad to award it our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages. This one will make you think!
