Synopsis
Silencios is the coming-of-age story of a young woman born in Cuba after the Revolution who begins to realize the lies that sustain family life. In her journey from childhood to womanhood, our leading character encounters friendship, sex, love, pain, and loss. Gradually, she begins to drift apart from her family to find refuge in isolation and silence. This revealing portrait of the Cuban reality, written by a lucid and direct hand, is remarkable in its power to seduce.
