Read My Lips

Deaf secretary Carla is bullied by her mean spirited male colleagues. When they suggest she needs an assistant it seems like the final insult, but, when the first applicant is ex-con Paul she seizes the chance to change her life.

Paul is clueless about clerical work as he has experience only of being a thief, but he is desperate for a job. Carla covers his mistakes, and he, anxious to go straight, reluctantly helps her take revenge on her colleagues. But, one good turn deserves another, and, when Paul asks Carla to return the favour, she finds herself drawn into the criminal underworld, ruled by another kind of bully - ruthless loan shark Marchand.

Recognising her ability to lip-read as a weapon no one will have bargained for, the two set out to see justice done. But, as Carla faces the challenge of her lifetime, she decides that, this time she is not being taken for a ride by anyone - including Paul.
