Synopsis:

Played with stoic grace by the late Jeroen Willems of Dutch theater renown, middle-aged rancher Helmer wears a lifetime of repressed desires and disappointments on his face. After moving his ailing, dismissive father upstairs, he timidly begins to shape his life to his own needs. Will he respond to the shy overtones from the local dairy trucker, the friendly flirtations of the neighbor ignored by her absentee husband, or the more overt advances of his new, young farmhand? Or is Helmer too damaged to sustain human connection, instead retreating into isolation and bitterness? Based on Gerbrand Bakker's beloved bestseller, It's All So Quiet delivers a spare but hopeful story of self-denial and personal growth. Dutch art-house veteran Nanouk Leopold's patient camera captures the richness and desolation of the countryside to create a subtle portrait of rural loneliness in a minimalist tour-de-force that's not to be missed.

This subtle portrait of rural loneliness tells the story of a middle-aged farmer's quest to cast off the shackles of closeted emotional repression he's worn all his life, featuring the last screen performance of the renowned Dutch actor Jeroen Willems.

A middle aged farmer, living with his old and bedridden father, tries to find truth in life.
