The Silence International Trailer (2010)

International trailer for The Silence.

On a hot summer day, a bicycle is found in a wheat field and, nearby, the body of a young girl. The killer is never found.

23 years later, 13-year-old Sinikka is missing and the police are presented with a crime scene identical to the past. Convinced that history is repeating itself, a retired detective is determined that with the help of his young colleague David, he will track down the perpetrator. Spanning a week in the investigation and over long hot summer days, the simmering guilt and emotional fallout cause once intact worlds to fall apart.

A striking debut, The Silence follows on from European crime thrillers such as The Killing and Wallander as it delves into the pysche of detectives and criminals to deliver a chilling story of murder and betrayal.
