A music professor tries to woo a sign language scholar who is too engrossed in her inter-species communications studies to notice him. Desperate, he takes a part-time job in her university's laboratory where he learns the funding for her research is about to be axed. Seizing the opportunity to get her attention (and hopefully her affection) he attempts to save her life's work. (Miramax Films)
