Plot Summary

Following the death of her father, a teenage Dot moves into the home of her godparents and their teenage daughter Nina. Dot arrives wrapped up in the silence of being deaf. She finds a different kind of silence waiting for her in her new home, for this home is a place with a dark secret involving Nina and her father. At first, Dot and Nina seem to be polar opposites. However, they gradually realize how much they have in common. Bringing them together catalyzes a series of events in which both reveal their secrets and shed their double lives. A violent consummation almost destroys them. Yet they find hope for the future in the quiet after the storm. Written by Charles Delacroix

Quotes [last lines]
Dot: [voice-over] I used to fantasise that when I died, there wouldn't be a funeral. Having led my life invisibly, *no one* would come to mourn. But being invisible isn't worth it in the end... because when you're invisible, other people may not see you... but you can't help seeing other people.
