Very sweet movie about a young girl who is being raised by her Uncle. The girl is very gifted (math prodigy). The Uncle wants to raise the girl in a very normal, loving setting, which is what he believes his sister wanted. The grandmother appears and decides she must have the child, send her to elite schools, encourage/nuture her talents. The poor girl is rather caught between the two worlds--the case goes to court. Who really has the best interests of the child in mind? Gets a bit emotional, but the acting is great and makes you think of the truly gifted--should a ten year old be solely treated like some middle aged genius or can the kid still enjoy a childhood?
