Silent Light

Synopsis

Inside a traditional, pious Plautdietsch-speaking Mennonite farming community in Chihuahua, Mexico, an honest, God-fearing married father of six falls into an overwhelming, all-consuming romantic passion with an unmarried woman, tormented by guilt before his devoted wife as divine providence, snow, and a miraculous resurrection unfold across the wide northern skies. Carlos Reygadas and Alexis Zabé's Cannes Jury Prize-winning spiritual masterpiece that homages Carl Theodor Dreyer's Ordet.
