you're right, I didn't watch it. I was just trying to clean up an article - the plot summary at the reference that I added said: "a young girl discovers she can communicate with dolphins"
'''''Eye of the Dolphin''''' is a [[movie]] released in 2006 about a 14-year-old girl named Alyssa.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465407/ IMDB for ''Eye of the Dolphin'']</ref> who goes to live with the scientist father she never knew. In the movie, teenager Alyssa wakes from an aquatic nightmare and tarts herself up for a day at school. She responds to some teasing by her grandmother by twitting her about her dates and handing her a condom. Then, she smokes [[marijuana|pot]] in the bathroom and gets suspended. This is typical of [[Hollywood Values]].

Her grandmother then reveals to Alyssa that her father is not dead - although that is what her mom had led her to believe. He studies [[dolphin communication]] in the [[Bahamas]], but his research is in conflict with the local tourism industry. Brought by her grandmother to meet her father in the Bahamas, Alyssa discovers that his research assistant is a "roommate with benefits". She shows Alyssa around town and takes her fishing for [[conch]] when Alyssa spies a wild dolphin in an inlet.

The next day, after a quarrel with her father, Alyssa runs away. She goes to the inlet, plays with her dolphin friend, and passes out on the beach after drinking a bottle of booze, a consequence of excessive drinking.

The two main themes of the movie are (1) the burgeoning relationship between father and daughter - assisted by the pleasant, simple, bucolic natives and (2) what will happen to the father's dolphin communication research.
