Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Silent Child is a 2017 British short film (20 minutes long) written by and starring Rachel Shenton and directed by her husband Chris Overton.Libby (Maisie Sly) is a deaf six-year-old child. She lives a solitary existence, not really interacting with her neglectful parents or her older brother and sister, none of whom have learned sign language. Libby's self-absorbed mother Sue hires Joanne (Rachel Shenton), a social worker who educates deaf children. Joanne teaches Libby British Sign Language (BSL), and Libby starts to come out of her shell. Unfortunately, however, a jealous Sue starts to see Joanne as a threat. | |

| The Silent Child / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Sue tells Joanne that there's no family history of deafness, which ends up being untrue when it's revealed that Libby is the product of an affair with a man whose father is deaf. She also tells her that Libby is great at lip-reading, and that she is shy and isolated, only for Joanne to learn that none of these things are true; Sue just has no idea what Libby is really like. | |

Downer Ending: Libby's awful mother ends her sign-language lessons and sends Libby to a normal school where she is completely lost and friendless. The film ends with a crying Joanne on the other side of the school gate, watching Libby through the bars. | |
