Synopsis
A bicycle with the body of a young girl is found in a field on a hot
summer’s day. The killer is never found. 23 years later, 13
year-old Sinikka is missing and the police discover a crime scene
identical to the past. Convinced that history is repeating itself, a
retired detective is determined that with the help of his young
colleague David, he will track down the perpetrator.
The film spans a week in the investigation, as the days grow hotter
and once intact worlds fall apart, the strain of the case casts its
shadow on all involved.
The debut feature of director Baran bo Odar, THE SILENCE follows on
from European crime thrillers such as THE KILLING and WALLANDER.
