The film follows eight young teenagers from their homes and families in various parts of the country to the annual spelling bee championship in Washington, DC. The candid portraits of their life at home are revealing and often quite funny. The families help them study in various ways, some taking it more seriously than others. The nail-biting finale will have you crying for the losers and cheering for the eventual winner.
