劇情簡介
在天才哥哥艾倫(麥克思·明格拉 Max Minghella 飾)的陰影下,艾吉拉(弗勞拉·克羅斯 Flora Cross 飾)覺得自己簡直沒有一點長處,父親索爾(理查·基爾 Richard Gere 飾)和母親米利亞姆(朱麗葉·比諾什 Juliette Binoche 飾)顯然更喜歡的是聰明伶俐的艾倫,而在他們之間,亦有著根深蒂固無法解決的問題。
在一次拼字大賽上,艾吉拉意外的展現出了令人驚嘆的天賦,在贏得比賽的同時,她也獲得了走向世界的機會。可是,對於艾吉拉的成功,一家人並沒有表現出應有的高興與自豪,因為隨著艾吉拉的出名,一個埋藏在家族中多年的秘密即將被公之於眾。眼看著家庭陷入了危機之中,艾吉拉明白,她必須依靠自己的力量,重新將家人凝聚在一起。

經典台詞
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
