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.

Year: 2026

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit. Through a missing pair of joggers, an unexpected line from Macbeth, and the quiet rituals of uniforms, registers, and school corridors, this film traces the first flickers of identity forming - not through revelation, but recognition.
