About the film:
In Silence is an award-winning film from Brazil with a lot of suspense and explores delicate themes such as moral violence, sexual violence, sadism behind the scenes of the cinema industry, and silence as a tool of power structures. Glória, the character, is not just an actress, but a metaphor for the glory that a film crew seeks: status, fame, and money.
Synopsis: Eduardo Porto, a renowned TV series director, is assaulted by the father of a young actress with whom he had a troubled past, triggering a crisis that threatens his career and a major production. As Eduardo gathers his film crew to contain the scandal, he attempts to silence the actress, expose a web of manipulation, ambition, and moral compromise within the team. Hidden affairs, power abuse, and drug-fueled coercion begin to surface, revealing Eduardo’s increasingly violent and authoritarian nature. Personal rivalries and envy further inflame the situation, pushing loyalties to the breaking point. What begins as damage control spirals into a dangerous game of truth and intrigue, culminating in a shocking and tragic climax that leaves no one untainted.
