After she witnesses a shocking incident on a late night train ride, Chini is swept into a traumatic state of remembrance of her own past. The incident triggers flashbacks of Chini’s childhood in rural India. Destitute, and sent by her father to live with her uncle, life-changing events forever alter Chini’s perception of the world she lives in. Toggling between past and present, The Silence is a dynamic drama based on a true story that tackles taboos and courage within a pain-clouded atmosphere.
