Gifted

The story of a father trying to protect his daughter. But in this case, the father is the Uncle, and the niece is a mathematical prodigy whose mother was also brilliant, but mentally tortured woman. So how to let the girl have a "normal childhood". Enter the grandmother (who wants the mathematical notoriety), and the neighbor (who acts as a surrogate mother), and the school teacher (who does everything right for the girl and the uncle). Intentionally designed to pull your heartstrings and make you laugh along the way. Plain, old fashioned, feel good movie.
