Plot
Nestled within the heart of the Brighton family lies a poignant narrative, one marred by trauma and bound by love. At the center of the story, Emily Brighton, a twenty-year-old, lives with an intellectual disability, a result of a childhood accident that forever marked her life and that of her family. Her mother, Martha Brighton, carries a fortress of guilt around the tragedy, her oversight blamed for Emily's condition.
In the house's hidden corners, two parallel worlds exist. In one, the family patriarch, Harry Brighton, a bank investor, retreats into a miniature world of trains and railroads, seeking solace in the basement. In the other, seventeen-year-old Evie Brighton finds refuge in her bond with Emily, reading her original poems and stories, her words painting a vibrant world for Emily's imagination.
Despite her intellectual prowess, Evie deliberately sabotages her university interviews, choosing to stay within the comforting confines of her home, her secret poetry sessions with Emily a balm to her spirit. A twist occurs when Emily, echoing Evie's poetic verses, sparks the interest of her English teacher, Stewart Worthy. Believing Emily to be a budding genius, he brings her works to light.
The truth unravels when James, Evie's only friend, discovers the notes and reveals the true author of the poems. The revelation sends ripples through the Brighton family, leading to a cascade of uncovered truths and hidden realities, each more revealing than the last. The film, Admissions (2004), thus unfurls a tale of love and sacrifice, deception and revelation, and the intricate bonds that bind a family together.
