Popular
cheerleader Nina Deer’s (Elisha Cuthbert) seemingly
unblemished suburban world is turned upside down when her
parents (Edie Falco and Martin Donovan) adopt their recently
orphaned goddaughter Dot (Camilla Belle). Dot’s arrival
delivers a blow to Nina’s idyllic social life and triggers the
unraveling of the family’s darkest secrets. Both Nina’s family
and friends, including the school hunk Connor (Shawn Ashmore,
The X-MEN trilogy), develop an odd fascination with Dot and
confide in her their troubling secrets. Dot quietly shoulders
the burdens and secrets of those around her, while continuing
to hold what is perhaps the biggest secret -- her own.
Directed by Jamie Babbit (BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER), THE QUIET is
about family secrets, friendship, trust and betrayal. Through
Nina’s eyes, Babbit takes us on an emotional rollercoaster
ride— through the hilarious and often crude interactions of
high schools students and a family where happy faces disguise
ugly truths.
