Synopsis
The final chapter of Riverbed Theatre’s “Just for You” trilogy, which previously featured “All That Remains” (2022), presented at the Venice Film Festival, and “Over the Rainbow” (2023). The concluding short film follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, exploring our connection to the world around us, highlighting an environment with an animistic quality, while also blurring the boundary between seeing and being seen. “A Simple Silence” reflects on stillness without the weight of work, love, or death —a moment of pause.

Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
