Eliza Naumann leads an unassuming life, feeling ordinary among her family. Her father, Saul, showers attention on her accomplished brother Aaron, while her mother, Miriam, is dedicated to her scientific pursuits. Unexpectedly, Eliza’s world changes when she surprises everyone by winning a spelling bee, revealing a hidden talent. Her victory not only earns her a place in the national competition but also opens doors to a realm of words and Jewish mysticism that have long fascinated her father’s imagination.

“I never have any idea about who I would cast in my books. I don't think I could ever write a book thinking of it as a movie the whole time.”
