Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Silence about? Toggle content

In a small German town, a young girl named Sinikka vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only her bicycle, which is found in the same spot where a girl named Pia was murdered 23 years ago. As the investigation unfolds, the police are forced to confront the dark secrets of the past and the eerie similarities between the two crimes. The film follows the parallel stories of Timo, a man who was involved in Pia's murder and has since tried to suppress his memories, and David, a detective who is haunted by the death of his wife and struggles to solve the case. As the truth begins to unravel, The Silence reveals a chilling portrait of pedophilia, murder, and the devastating consequences of keeping secrets buried for too long.
