The Silence
Traveling through an unnamed European country on the brink of war, sickly, intellectual Ester, her sister Anna and Anna's young son, Johan, check into a near-empty hotel. A basic inability to communicate among the three seems only to worsen during their stay. Anna provokes her sister by enjoying a dalliance with a local man, while the boy, left to himself, has a series of enigmatic encounters that heighten the growing air of isolation.

Same gimmicks as "Persona", but with silence instead of word diarrhea (and I mean it as a good thing). Two sisters spend time at a hotel in a city whose language nobody seems to know. While they easily find ways to communicate with the people around them through music, gestures, and sex, the More
