Synopsis:
The Silence
begins 23 years ago on a hot summer day, when a young girl named Pia is
brutally murdered in a field of wheat. Now, on the exact same date in the
present, 13-year-old Sinikka is missing, her bicycle abandoned in the same
spot. As Krischan, the retired investigator of the unresolved case, and
his younger colleague David struggle to solve the mystery of these parallel
crimes, Sinikka’s distraught parents are trapped in an agonizing period of
waiting and uncertainty. Meanwhile, their daughter’s fate rips open old
wounds in the heart of Pia’s mother, who is visited by an unexpected guest with
an eerie connection to her daughter. The unrelenting summer heat lies
over the quaint family homes like a bell jar and behind closed doors, worlds
begin to fall apart.
In his strikingly commanding debut feature The
Silence,
Swiss-born Baran bo Odar adapts Jan Costin Wagner’s bestselling novel with his
own unmistakable signature. Mesmerizing performances by top European actors -
headed by Ulrich Thomsen (The Celebration, Brothers), Sebastian Blomberg (The
Baader Meinhof Complex), Katrin Sass (Good Bye, Lenin!) and Burghart Klaussner
(The White Ribbon, The Edukators) - enrich this intense drama far beyond the
crime genre.
