Night of Silence

Night of Silence is a striking film that focuses on child brides, a most common problem which should never fall off the radar. The story starts with an opulent village wedding in Anatolia. Folk dances, firing guns… and the audience faces the 55-60 year-old groom who couldn’t get married as he spent years in prison, and a child bride, alone in a room. The mood in the room is not what the groom anticipates. The bride struggles to put the groom off and overcome her fears using her wit… The audience stays up all night until the morning with these two people in the nuptial chamber.
