Beredtes Schweigen (Eloquent Silence)
Marie is used to the drab monotony of everyday life on her parent's farm. But it gets unbearable when Marie's older sister Anne surprisingly turns up for the first time after three years. The lost daughter is back for her mother's birthday. Marie again takes off her prettiest dress and begins a wordless battle against her older sister - about a lost love, against the silence of the others and her own powerlessness. At the end, there is only enough room for one of the sisters.
