NOTES Paula (Young) is involved in a hit and run accident at night

involving a child. Later full of guilt she looks after the boy who

it turns out is unable to speak. Paula works hard to bring

back his voice while at the same time wondering if he will

reveal she was the driver.

Clearly his lack of a voice is meant to keep us in suspense

over Paula's fate. Without knowing how old he is one

wonders why he didn't have other means of communicating.
