An Invisible Sign is a 2010 drama film directed by Marilyn Agrelo and starring Jessica Alba, Chris Messina, and J.K. Simmons. The film follows Mona Gray, a bright and talented young woman who becomes a recluse after her father's diagnosis with a mental illness.
Growing up, Mona found solace in mathematics that helped her cope with her father's illness. She aced her exams and became so obsessed with numbers that she began to count everything around her, from tiles on the floor to people on the street.
As an adult, Mona becomes a math teacher at an elementary school, where she tries to connect with her students and help them overcome their own issues. She bonds with one of her students, Lisa, who has a troubled home life and is struggling to keep up with her studies.
Mona's obsession with numbers, however, begins to take a toll on her personal life. She starts to withdraw from her friends and family, and her relationship with her love interest, Ben, suffers. It's only when her father's condition worsens, and she is forced to confront her own compulsions, that Mona begins to understand the importance of human connections and the need to embrace the messiness of life.
The film is based on the novel by Aimee Bender and is a touching tale of love, loss, and self-discovery. It received mixed reviews from critics but was praised for Alba's performance and the film's emotional depth.
