Synopsis

Nuria, Fabio and their mother Amparo arrive at an unknown island on the border between Brazil, Colombia and Peru. They are fleeing armed conflicts in Colombia and learn that their father, who had allegedly been killed in a landslide caused by a mining company, is hiding in the house where they live.

Our take

Understated yet impactful, this dreamlike family portrait from Beatriz Seigner (Bollywood Dream) exposes the traumas of conflict and grief. Bolstered by luminous cinematography and a hazy, supernatural turn, Los Silencios explores the delicate boundaries between the living and the dead.
