The Belliers live in a beautiful town in France, where the farmers, Mr. and Mrs. Bellier, and their son are deaf and mute. Fortunately, God gave them a healthy, beautiful and intelligent daughter, Paula.
The family runs a farm, the father raises cows, the mother makes cheese, and Paula and her brother help their parents in their spare time.
As the only person in the family who can speak, Paula is the mouth and ear of the whole family, helping the family to communicate with the outside world. The family lives a life of love and harmony.
As Paula enters the school's choir and gets the chance to leave Paris, the family is plunged into an unprecedented conflict...
In the relaxed and humorous atmosphere unique to French cinema, the film tells a complete and beautiful story, interprets the true meaning of growth, and also makes the audience like this optimistic and loving family.

I love you I'll do your ears and mouth
A family of four, only Paula could hear the voice. What kind of atmosphere would such a family be?
At the beginning of the film, as Paula enters the house, the director uses a long shot with only the sound of objects colliding and no characters talking, showing the difference and collision between the sound world and the silent world.
Mom and Dad and my brother can't hear the sound, and they make a lot of noise without knowing it.
At the school gate, they greeted Paula with the sound of a car stereo. But they don't know that the sound is far more than the decibel that ordinary people can bear.
Paula will also be depressed and feel faceless about these unavoidable small frictions in her life, but she truly loves her family.
In this disabled family, there is no sorrow in sight, and everyone is smiling, even happier than many able-bodied people. They can't speak and use exaggerated body language to express their love for each other.
Father Baileyard was a man with a deep appearance and an optimistic heart. He took Paula to take care of the newborn little black cow and named it "Obama."
The father's humorous optimism infects Paula, who works with her father, although hard, but happy.
Paula's mother is cheerful and enthusiastic, and loves beauty like a star. She took the children to sell cheese at the market and dressed up beautifully.
Like Paula said, the father is responsible for the work, the mother is responsible for smiling, I am responsible for talking, and the younger brother is responsible for collecting the money. What a harmonious and friendly family!
As a translator for the whole family, Paula accompanied her parents to the hospital to see a doctor and communicate with the doctor.
She stood next to the TV, explaining tv news to her parents. When his father was not accustomed to the rhetoric of the candidate mayor, he decided to form a party with only four members of the Baileyette family.
When running for mayor, Paula was fully supportive of her father. Make campaign posters for his father, accompany his father to give election speeches, and use tacit translation to win support for his father.
Father said that as long as there is a thousandth of hope, I will work hard, I will control my destiny. Paula listened, her eyes flashing with youthful radiance, and her father's firm persistence must have affected her.
This is an unfortunate family, but also a happy family, the members of the family love each other deeply and are willing to give their whole heart for the family.
This warm family, with the arrival of an unexpected surprise, the peaceful life rippled.

I love you guys, but I'm still leaving
Paula was selected for the school's choir, and the discerning vocal teacher learned from Paula's first song and discovered that she had a naturally good voice. He encouraged Paula to represent the school in Paris to participate in competitions and had the opportunity to study vocal music and sing opera in Paris.
Paula's life will be like Sarah Brightman, becoming a dazzling soprano singer. For the young Paula, this is truly a fascinating future. If you choose this path, you will be separated from your family.
And Paula is the ear and mouth of the whole family, and without her, her parents and brother will not be able to communicate with the outside world.
Every grown child must go through a choice, and Paula's choice carries a heavy responsibility.
When Paula plucked up enough courage to tell her parents what had happened. The father chose silence, while the mother firmly opposed. The family farm, Dad's campaign, which is inseparable from Paula, and living alone from home, but also let the mother rest assured.
After the news was released, the family's life changed silently:
Paula began teaching her girlfriend sign language, hoping that after leaving home, she could help her parents instead of herself, but the more she helped, the more chaotic she became. Her mother stopped helping Paula wash her clothes and let her taste the taste of living independently.
The father refuses Paula's help in taking care of the cows and tries to come on his own. The campaign speech also no longer took Paula with him, and there was no tacit understanding with the translator who replaced Paula, and the scene was chaotic. My brother had a sudden allergy, and my mother panicked because she couldn't communicate with the doctor.
Paula was very lost and felt that all the relatives in the family no longer needed her. Paula and her mother talked heartily, and the mother felt very sorry for her daughter, and it was the family who dragged Paula down.
Paula opens her heart to her mother and tells her mother that she just doesn't want to spend her whole life selling cheese in the town and wants to see the outside world.
The choir reported on the performance, and Paula's family came to watch. The director deliberately arranged a silent scene to show the atmosphere felt from the perspective of Paula's parents and brother.
The audience was infected with tears by the song, and All Paula's family saw was that under the brilliant lights of the stage, Paula was dressed in the costume of the show, smiling, and her hair was shining with golden light...
They could see everything, but they couldn't hear Paula's most beautiful song. This is a very contagious scene that only Paula, who grew up in a deaf-mute family, can feel it.
The debriefing performance was a great success, and Paula's parents were genuinely proud of their daughter. Paula's vocal teacher said that tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, he hoped that Paula would go to Paris to audition.
That night, Paula sits alone in the courtyard, mired in a deep conflict that she needs to choose between her dreams and her family. Her father, who saw through her thoughts, came over and sat silently beside Paula.
Paula did not speak, put her father's hand on her throat knot, and sang softly, she asked her father to use his hand to perceive the rhythm of the voice, and she sang it to his father in this way. That night, my father couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, before dawn, Paula's family set off. The yellow sedan sped toward Paris, and the family had to personally send Paula on the way to chase her dreams.
"Dear Mom and Dad, I'm leaving. I love you guys, but I'm still leaving. Tonight you no longer have my company, I am not fleeing, I am flying..."
At the audition in Paris, Paula sang emotionally while seriously playing sign language. She sang her heart to her parents.
In this song, the hearts of the family are tightly united, and they feel each other's deep love even more truly.

True love is what makes you fly
It was another morning, Paula packed her bags, and her brother silently picked up the box for her. Paula is finally going to Paris.
The whole family quietly sent her out, the car was not far away, Paula suddenly called to stop, she turned and ran to her parents, hugging her family again. The mother grabbed a strand of her daughter's hair and sniffed it hard, trying to keep her daughter's smell in her heart.
How much I love you, but I still have to go. Paula turned and ran forward, her blonde hair fluttering in the sun, her bright eyes shining with youthful light.
True love is what makes you fly, even if we love you more than anyone else and need you. With the blessings of her parents, Paula's path of chasing her dreams will go farther and longer.
