STILLE FREUNDIN

SILENT FRIEND

Set in the botanical garden of a medieval university town in Germany, SILENT FRIEND centres on a majestic tree which is observing humans. The film is set in three different eras – 1908, 1972 and 2020 – and tells three human stories shaped and transformed by the plants surrounding them over more than one hundred years.

SILENT FRIEND is the seventh feature film by the Golden Bear-winning Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi and marks the first time that the acclaimed Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai has acted in a European film following such productions as IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and LUST, CAUTION.
