Melanie lost her sight as a baby when she
was born premature and had to be placed in an incubator. Still, she grew
up rapidly and her parents want her to enjoy as normal a childhood as
possible. They realize, however, that unless they handle things with
tender loving care, Melanie will become upset. They hope for her to
become self-reliant in life and to face things with a positive attitude.
Really, they want nothing more than her happiness. This is a chronicle
offered as hope for other parents whose children face similar
handicaps.

This is the story of parents faced with the
difficult situation of raising a child who is blind and related problems
of social welfare. It shows how these parents and their child bravely
face the sad situation. It is a weighty theme, no doubt, but the
composition and method of expression in the film are superb. The
narration is moving, and the child's mannerisms and facial expressions
are charming. We would like to see how this family deals with the
difficulties that are certain to lay down the road of life.
