Away in Silence

Directed by Tomás Paiva Ferreira

An impaired elderly woman struggles physically to save her grandson from starving.

Julia, an impaired elderly lady left to take care of her grandson as her daughter goes to work, faces a big decision when accidentally dropping her grandson’s only edible food: help the starving toddler using her new crutches to find food outside or in her selfishness, refuse to use them out of shame.
