EAN: 3838898431395

A futuristic, dreamy and allegorical film about a war without a single soldier, in which not a word is spoken. »People don’t talk in this film, but that doesn’t mean it’s a silent film. Words in war are worth nothing. If they were valid, there would be no wars. Silent Sonata is a film of feelings, atmospheres, sensibilities, surreality. A film that talks about what cannot be expressed in words« (Janez Burger, director and screenwriter). The film received six Vesna awards at the Festival of Slovenian Film, also for the best film.

SYNOPSIS

As the deafening roar of war subsides, Stevo flees across a battle-ravaged plain in the middle of which stands his badly damaged house. He was left alone with his daughter Dunja and son Mali, as his wife was hit by a grenade. When the worst seems over, he suddenly hears a loud roar from a distance. After tense moments of anticipation of the worst, Stevo discovers that in front of the house is not a killer machine, but an unusual vehicle of Circus Fantasticus, from which bizarre but completely human characters emerge.
