The Quiet
Isn't it time everyone hears your secrets?
Directed by Jamie Babbit
Produced by Burnt Orange Productions, Andrea Sperling Productions
A dark, claustrophobic psychological drama about trauma, abuse, and the dangerous secrets that fester within a dysfunctional family.
After her widowed father dies, deaf teenager Dot moves in with her godparents, Olivia and Paul Deer. The Deers' daughter, Nina, is openly hostile to Dot, but that does not prevent her from telling her secrets to her silent stepsister, including the fact that she wants to kill her lecherous father.
