The silence of the sea
( Le silence de la mer )Release date 1949 Drama . 86 min
In a French village during the Occupation, an old man and his niece are forced to take in a German officer. The man is thoughtful, well-read and in favor of a rapprochement between the two countries. But his every attempt at conversation is thwarted by his hosts' stubborn silence. During a leave in Paris, the officer realizes what Nazi Germany is really planning. Sick at heart, he volunteers for the Russian front. As he leaves the village, the young woman breaks her silence for a word of farewell.
