All I See Is You

The heart has its own language. Summer in January. Birds with unknown songs. People with strange accents. In 1932, Eliza Sparrow walks straight off the boat from England to New Zealand into a nightmare. Unable to speak or write, and with the death of her mother during the voyage, Eliza is alone, without any means, without any hope. Unless she meets someone willing to help her. Maxine and Ruth have opened their home to destitute women, sheltering those they can from the worst of the Depression.
When they find Eliza, they are determined to aid and protect her. Never though, did they think they'd have to protect Eliza from their dear friend Clemency. Like them, Clemency loves other women, but unlike the happily 'married' Maxine and Ruth, Clemency is lonely, unable to find a lover she really connects with. When she meets Eliza, no one thinks it could be serious and Clemency would simply be taking advantage of the speechless Eliza, her attraction never possibly other than a passing desire.
No one took into account however, that the heart has its own language, and it's one that Eliza can speak perfectly well.
