4Nell is a girl who's been brought up in an
isolated world. The only people she knew were her
mother and twin sister. They lived together in a
cabin in the forest. Her mother whose speech was
impaired, supposedly by strokes, died, and her
twin sister has passed away some 20 or more years
ago. Nell is discovered by the local doctor
Jerome. He's fascinated by her, since she speaks
a mangled language, developed by her sister and
herself growing up, a sort of "twin speak"
Paula, a psychology student, wants her observed
and psychologically dissected in a laboratory.

6As Dr. Lovell, who moves into a tent a short
distance from Nell's, begins to interact with
her, she subsequently comes to trust him and
refers to him as her "guardian angel" and calls
him "Jay" The psychologist, Paula Olsen, has
also come out to observe, living in a lab-funded
houseboat. She has hided a video camera in Nell's
cabin to watch her without the personal
interaction. Outsiders learn of Nell a
journalist makes his way to Nell's cabin
frightens her with his flash photography. Soon a
helicopter arrives, scaring Nell to the point of
collapse. In an effort to shield her from
exposure to ruthless media, Paula and Jerry
decide the only place she can be safe from the
press is at the hospital where Paula's boss wants
to make a lab rat out of her.
7The arrival at the scary hospital after the
traumatic fleeing from the media shocks Nell into
a catatonic state which both doctors know will
send her directly to an institution. Jerry
impulsively kidnapers Nell goes to a hotel
where she continues to refuse to speak or
interact. Finally at the competency hearing,
Jerry becomes frustrated, but Nell suddenly
awakes", asking Jerry to "spee' fo' Nell". The
things she says and emotions she expresses are so
beautiful and deep that even Paula now sees Nell
as a human being. The movie ends with the two
doctors driving with their young daughter to a
gathering (5 years later) at Nell's cabin, where
there are the sheriff and his wife, who are fond
of Nell throughout the movie as well. The
conclusive scene sees Nell with the doctors
daughter, teaching her the chant she and Mae used
to say and telling her "You 'member dat"...
