Stille Liebe

Antonia (Emmanuelle Laborit) is a deaf woman in her late twenties who lost her parents as a child. With nowhere to go, Antonia was taken in by Verena (Renate Becker), the mother superior at a Swiss convent where many of the sisters have taken a vow of silence. As she's grown older she begins to wonder if she made the right choice. Doing volunteer work at a homeless shelter, she meets Mikas (Lars Otterstedt), a petty thief and onetime carnival performer who is also deaf. Mikas boldly expresses his desire for Antonia, and to her surprise, she finds herself responding to his advances.
