{mosimage} In 2003, a group of Polish high school students set out to fulfill their dream of climbing Mount Rysy when a surprise avalanche killed eight members of the excursion. The film looks the parents who had lost their children, and the emptiness and above all the struggle to live "after". Each of them has a different way of coping with the suffering, as they unknowingly drift apart.
Pstrong, a young Polish screenwriter and director of short and documentary films as well as television series and commercials, has been working working for one of the biggest Polish private broadcasters TVN for the last four years. His graduation film T-Rex was awarded with the Jańcio Wodnik Prize in 2004 and the Brown Tadpole Award at the 2003 Camerimage Festival.
The film was shot between March and June 2009 in Zakopane and Cracow. Silence is produced by TVN Television (www.tvn.pl) with a budget of 3 million PLN.
