You Are Too Precious to Me (2021)

Limitations Can Be Overcome!

14/01/2023

This is a story about a 30 something year old male with heavy debts that unexpectedly and quite unintentionally takes on the responsibility of a blind and deaf 7 yr old girl when her mother, an employee of his, dies suddenly in a freak accident.

He is only there really to get back the money that the deceased owes him through her apartment deposit so has to pose as the child's father temporarily.

However, what starts as an inconvenience eventually leads to a deeper relationship between the two when he actually starts to pay attention to her with patience, time and effort that leads her to thrive under his care, experience new things and quickly become emotionally attached to him. Her mother only took care of her basic needs really, but left her mostly alone in the apartment like a neglected little animal.

In part, this story addresses the lack of care and facilities in place for those born like this child because when he went to check out this institute for the deaf and blind she could only be placed under one category which I think was for those that are deaf. So, sign language was the only option opened to her, but when he challenged the educator on it it made no difference.

He more or less asked: " How can she learn sign language if she can't see?'.

Quite quickly he works out a way to teach her how to communicate with him so for the first time in her life she is able to learn what objects are by spelling letters out on her or his hand and she is no longer limited by her impairments.

As viewers we see her transform from a neglected unkempt child to one that is happy, taken care of and carefree.

It does get a bit messy because of him having debts and having to face the reality of taking care of her at the same time as being chased by his creditors no end - so it isn't a completely happy story.

What I will say is that it is a brilliant heartfelt story and one that will likely make you shed a tear or two.

The child actor in this is believable and acted her part to a tee. Faultless really. I have actually gone back to watch it again and replay certain memorable parts because it is that good.

If you are in the mood for a good crying session then don't hesitate to watch this one!

Ps Don't forget to have a box of tissues handy.
