The Silence of the Sea

In a small town in WWII France, a German officer is billeted in the home of an elderly man and his niece. The two resist the occupation by refusing to interact with him, maintaining a stubborn silence even as the officer speaks candidly about his life and his hopes for the future of France and Germany.
