The Silence

(Cisza)

Silence is based on a true story about a group of high school students who set off to climb Rysy, Poland’s highest mountain range on January 28, 2003. Silently and without warning, an avalanche cascades down the peak, killing eight of the students immediately. The victim’s parents ponder an important question: where is the line between protecting one’s children and destroying their youthful dreams and passions by being overly protective?
