SILENT LOVE
dir. Marek Kozakiewicz, Poland 2022, 72’
After their mother’s death,
35-year-old Aga starts to look after her teenage brother, Milosz. She starts
playing the role of both mother and father to him, but there is one thing she
isn’t telling him about. It’s her long-term relationship with Maja. Will the
three of them manage to build a new model of a family in the midst of a
conservative and closed community? How will the xenophobic mindset that Milosz
is surrounded by, affect the relationships within his home? “Silent Love” is a
coming of age and a coming-out story about taking on new roles, and redefining
the old ones. It’s a tender story about the courage to love despite all the
fears.
