Maria in Silence

Maria in Silence tells the story of Maria, the daughter of Barbie Lambrou, who is mute. The new village teacher, Gregory, is determined to learn the language of the deaf to connect with her. This effort impresses Maria's father and leads to a significant shift in his treatment of her.

However, the narrative takes a dark turn when Maria is raped by the village chairman and remains silent about it for three months until her pregnancy is revealed. The film addresses the complexities of communication and the struggles of those who are marginalized within society.

With a strong cast including Aliki Vougiouklaki and Alekos Alexandrakis, Maria in Silence captures the nuances of village life and the impact of trauma on individuals and families. This film represents a poignant example of Greek cinema from the 1970s, showcasing the work of Finos Film.
