They were referring to Tell Them You Love Me, which tells the tale of a white and married university professor, Anna, who meets Derrick, a black, non-verbal, and disabled younger brother of one of her students, John Johnson.
Anna's meeting with Derrick comes after she had been approached by John about his brother's disability, cerebral palsy.
This resulted in Anna and Derrick, 28, meeting in person for the first time, while the former assisted the latter with his communication.
After teaching him how to use a keyboard fitted with an LED screen to type, Derrick begins taking university classes.
Although Anna subsequently claimed that she was married to someone else, the pair fall in love and begin an allegedly consensual, sexual relationship.
