The decades-old unsolved murder of a young girl is re-opened in the mystery-thriller The Silence.
The decades-old unsolved murder of a young girl bears an eerie resemblance to the recent disappearance of a 13-year-old in the 2010 German mystery-thriller film The Silence.

The unresolved crime yields two decades of grief, guilt and obsession in the lives of everyone connected to the victim. But when a 13-year-old girl goes missing 23 years later — on the same day and the very same spot as the original murder — the police suspect that the same killer may have resurfaced. Not surprisingly, unhealed wounds are opened and fresh dangers begin to appear…
