The movie Holland's Opus follows the life of fictional character Glenn Holland (Richard Dreyfuss) from the beginning of his music teaching career as a young adult, to his involuntary retirement in his later years. One of several themes portrayed in this movie is the relationship between Mr. Holland, whose passion in life is music, and his son Cole, who ironically is born deaf. Over the years Mr. Holland has difficulty bonding with his son, assuming Cole will never appreciate his great love of music. This scene, however, shows how the power of music and a parent's love can transcend the obvious barriers. Mr. Holland hosts a touching musical performance at Cole's school for the deaf which connects with the student body and especially with his son, Cole.
