    • ENG: A Chilean family of German descendants must confront a painful episode dating back to World War II. Silence unfolds when one of its members moves to Berlin and begins to research the disappearance of his grandfather’s twin brother, who was a pilot in the German Army. Back and forth, between Chile and Germany, the director turns into his own history to reflect on how his family’s memory has been shaped, and how past behaviors of the Nazi times have echoes in present generations in Chile.
