However, the mistreatment of Piper (Sora Wong), a blind schoolgirl eager to connect with her peers, persists as she encounters the cruel popular girls who mock her impairment. Matters take a turn for the worse when Piper and her brother Andy (Billy Barratt) discover their father deceased in the bathroom, forcing them into the care of Laura (Sally Hawkins), a former social worker with a foster child, Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips). This child is unstable, bald, and mute, often gazing vacantly into the distance like Brooklyn Beckham when asked about his occupation. From the outset, it’s evident that Laura has her own issues, though the nature of these problems remains a secret for much of the film. As the story unfolds, hints are dropped that Piper and Billy may be in grave danger in the near future.
