Silence

Synopsis

An animated drama-documentary about Tana, a child holocaust survivor who tells her story for the first time after fifty years and speaks about the reasons for her long silence. The use of mixed styles of animation enabled the film-makers to portray the little girl’s point of view and helps the audience identify with the central character.
