Safe and Silent

Synopsis

Dans un lotissement ultra-moderne, Kinga, fraîchement séparée de son mari, mise sur un nouveau départ avec ses deux enfants, mais l’omniprésence des caméras de surveillance au sein de son foyer, va tout faire basculer…
Pour son premier long métrage, la jeune réalisatrice polonaise Justyna Tafel veut montrer, en empruntant les codes d’un thriller psychologique, comment les innovations technologiques et l’obsession de sécurité peuvent mener à l’éclatement de la cellule familiale.

Director’s Statement
“IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOUR LOVED ONES, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FORGIVE YOURSELF THAT YOU HAVEN’T DONE EVERYTHING TO KEEP THEM SAFE. This film was born out of my personal fascination for trust, the most enigmatic feeling. Trust is gained as a result of a magical transaction – one party deserves it, so another put one’s trust in them. But not necessarilly in this particular order and how to settle which one marks the cause or the effect is not entirely clear. Trust once lost could be impossible to regain. Yet it is an essential component of probably one of the most precious of feelings, love. And on a macro scale, absolutely no society can exist without it.” (Justyna Tafel)
