SPA25: A Silent Death

Australian premiere

Una muerte silenciosa

Set on the edge of the spectacular Andes, this 1980s Patagonia-set thriller from Sebastián Schindel (The Wrath of God, The Crimes that Bind) is a classic edge of the seat crime-story and gripping tale of guilt, suspicion and truth.

In the depths of Patagonia, hunting guide Octavio (Joaquín Furriel) works with Klaus (Alejandro Awada), when one day, Octavio wakes from a drunken night only to stumble upon a shocking crime involving his niece. Haunted by events from his past and with his memory of the fateful night a blur, Octavio tries to piece together the truth of what happened.

Navigating a tangled web of suspicion, and facing the possibility of betrayal, Octavio embarks on an investigation that will force him to confront the haunting secrets of the past. Relying on a few mysterious photos and the wisdom of a former police commissioner, he uncovers a youthful romance, and a photographer obsessed with guns as he pieces the puzzle together.
