What happens

A Silent Love (Spanish: Un amor silencioso) is a 2004 Canadian (Quebec) film written and directed by Federico Hidalgo and produced by Atopia. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004 then opened in a limited release on October 29, 2004 in New York City and Los Angeles before widening to over 25 theaters across the US and Canada. A Silent Love is the first Canadian release made by Atopia, although it was shortly followed by another Hidalgo film, Imitation. The film is quasi-silent but when dialogue is used, it is substantially Spanish despite the film's Canadian production. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
