Movie: Bee Season (2005)
Film Synopsis:
11-year-old Eliza is the invisible element of her family unit: her parents are consumed with work and her older sister is wrapped up in her own teenage life. Eliza ignites not only the spark that makes her visible but also the one that sets in motion a revolution in her family dynamic when she wins the spelling bee. Finding an emotional outlet in the power of words and in the spiritual mysticism he sees at work in her unmatched gift, Elizas father pours all his energy into helping his daughter become a spelling bee champion. A professor of religious studies, he saw the opportunity not only as a distraction from his life but as an answer to his own crisis of faith. His vicarious path to God, real or imaginary, leads to an obsession with Elizas success and he begins to teach her the secrets of kabbalah. Now preparing for the national spelling bee, Eliza looks on as new secrets from her familys hidden turmoil seem to be revealed with every new word she masters.
