VM 55
Released on Hokushin.
Small Box - Rental Tape
Far away from busy city life, Lena Canada begins her first job as a nurse at a home for abandoned and disabled children. Relishing the opportunity to participate and help, Lena becomes captivated by a young girl called Karen who, suffering from cerebral palsy, refuses to speak. For many long weeks the work is unrewarding, but finally Lena unlocks the key to Karen's mind. She discovers Karen's one obsession - Elvis Presley. Lena suggests that she write to Elvis, but weeks pass and there is no reply. She begins to withdraw physically but then without warning, a letter from Elvis arrives - the first of many - and Karen's life is magically transformed. Based on the book 'To Elvis With Love' by Lena Canada, this true story shows the courage of the human spirit when touched by love. A moving film, a family film of distinction.
