Silence is Broken



Hans Steinbichler : 2015
Das Dorf des Schweigens

Things go bad when a woman no one has heard from in decades returns home. Lydia is out for revenge and accuses Christian, the fiancé of her younger sister Eva, of having raped her when she was fourteen, an incident she never recovered from. Gossip spreads throughout the village fast. The accusation hits Eva the hardest. And Christian, who, it seems, will probably lose his job. And then Christian's dead body is pulled out of the river rapids. The police assume it is suicide and want to close the case. But Eva is convinced that her sister has driven Christian to his death and tries to prove it. The more Eva delves into her sister's past, the more realistic the accusations become. What really did happen? Eva starts unravelling the history of the family. Hans Steinbichler's thriller premiered at Filmfest München 2015.
