Silence

Silence, by Turkish movie and T.V. star Engin Akyürek, bridges both cultures and time, finding the universal in the lives of children, of family, and of community. Silence's 21 short stories take us to Turkey and a time when people got to know people by looking in their eyes, to touch people by talking to them, and to understand each other by listening. The times when the kids were still kids, when they started a ball game as soon as they found an empty field, when neighbors stopped by uninvited, holidays were celebrated all together, the happiness and the sorrow shared by all. Since its release in 2018, Silence has been published into several languages. Now Silence has been translated into English, bringing this stunning work to new audiences.
