固守沉默劇情簡介
Runtime: 90 min
A story of a young boy who becomes an elective mute after witnessing what he believes to be the killing by his older brother of a teenage boy. The young boy's brother then tells him not to say anything because of the trouble it would cause in the family... so he doesn't say anything again. The problem is that the young boy so enjoys his acceptance by others of his mutism that it brings his family, a loving and caring farm family, to the brink of financial ruin in medical and psychological costs to cure him. Based on a true story, this is the intelligent telling of a family in crisis, and the work of doctors in dealing with this mental illness.
這部電視電影改編自真人真事，對于小孩子復雜微妙的心理問題有細膩刻劃。故事主人翁史蒂芬有一天突然不說話了，父親吉姆和母親莉迪亞感到十分煩惱。為了探究兒子為何不說話的真相，父母親花了很多錢請心理醫生對他進行治療，經過長期的耐心溝通之后終于揭開了史蒂芬心中的秘密。原來他曾經目睹哥哥被殺的過程，少年兇手的兄弟警告他不能聲張，否則會對他全家不利，于是，史蒂芬選擇了什么話都不談。導演布魯斯．皮特曼以敏銳的感覺描寫一個本來親密的家庭一旦遭逢危機時的因應之道，喜歡《凡夫俗子》的觀眾應該也會欣賞本片。
