The McNallys of Simla are an Anglo-Indian family consisting of Paul, his wife Catherine, and finally their baby daughter Michelle. Their joy evaporates when they are told that she cannot see or hear. They attempt to bring her up in their own protective way, sheltering her from the real world, so she becomes increasingly volatile and violent. Things get worse when Catherine gives birth to Sara; Paul even considers sending Michelle to an asylum. Then Debraj Sahay enters their lives. Through his eager involvement Michelle blossoms, grows, gives up her violence, and even gets admitted to a school with 'normal' children. Years pass, Michelle does not succeed in getting her graduation, and it is time for Debraj to bid adieu as he is having his own health problems. 12 years later, at age 40, Michelle does succeed in graduating in Arts, and shortly thereafter she is reunited with her teacher, who is no longer the same eccentric alcoholic but a bent older man who cannot even remember speech, let alone what he taught. Watch what happens when Michelle attempts to re-enter his 'blank' life.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
