Where the Silence Is Heard is the evocative title of the debut feature by directors Gabriela Pena and Picho García. But silence can be very painful and be a sign of trauma, as audiences will find out.
“Returning to a house in Chile abandoned in exile, a granddaughter traces three generations of memory to understand how love, fear, and silence are inherited,” reads a logline for the documentary, which world premieres on Tuesday, March 17 in the Next:Wave program of the 23rd edition of the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, or CPH:DOX. That granddaughter is Pena. “Between her grandparents’ tenderness and her Barcelona-based mother’s emotional distance, she begins to question how love can endure when shaped by fear, absence, and silence.”
