Synopsis:

A drama between people under unconventional circumstances. In the Second World War Finland was the only nation who brought casualties killed-in-action back to be buried at home. These actions were carried out by men and women working in assembly centres near enemy lines. Silence is a story of a group of people in a limbo between life and death, in a mental no-man's- land, where heaven and hell, horror and joy, love and fear touch each other.

The Second World War, frontier between Finland and Russia. Eino is the dim-witted son of a washer of dead bodies and joins the war his simple soul full of heroic ideals. Life in the small community turns out to be more complicated than the war itself.
