“In the fog, contours are blurred; in the borderlands between two countries, it is the differences that blur. In the village on the Czech-Austrian border at the center of The End of Silence, wars and political upheaval have repeatedly created wild chasms in people’s lives. Traumas and taboos dictate their consequences to this day. Tereza Kotyk drew inspiration from the grandchildren of those who lived through World War II, known as the “children of the fog” (Nebelkind), to expose the violence and lift the veil of silence that results from it and has since characterized the life stories of three generations of women.”
Karin Schiefer – Austrianfilms.com
“Nebelkind is a dense film with forest footage, powerful close-ups, and a visceral soundtrack capturing every sound of Hannah’s footsteps through the woods.”
