29-year-old Alma lives a quiet life in a Catholic convent in present day Denmark and is preparing to take her perpetual vows as a nun, when her brother Erik arrives unexpectedly after many years apart. Erik, a recovering alcoholic, wants his share of the inheritance from their late father. However, his presence quickly unearths a much deeper deceit between them – a terrible accident from their past, that Alma has desperately tried to suppress. With the ceremony approaching Alma becomes increasingly haunted by resurfacing trauma and all that was invisible before, is now written on the walls.
Den store stilhed
Instruktør: Katrine Brocks
29-årige Alma lever et stille liv i et moderne katolsk kloster og skal til at aflægge sine evige løfter som nonne, da hendes storebror Erik uventet opsøger hende efter mange års adskillelse. Erik vil have sin del af arven fra deres afdøde far, men hans tilstedeværelse åbenbarer en mørk hemmelighed, som Alma har gjort alt for at skjule. I takt med at ceremonien nærmer sig, bliver Alma hjemsøgt af minder og tvivl, og hun har pludselig svært ved at mærke den Gud, som hun har satset på skulle frelse hende.
