Silence

The film follows 17th century Jesuit priests Sebastiao Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Francisco Garrpe (Adam Driver) as they travel to Japan in search of their mentor Father Cristóvao Ferreira (Liam Neeson). With the Japanese government wishing to suppress any kind of western influence and Japanese Christians forced into the wilds of the countryside to practice their faith in secret, the pair face violence and persecution immediately after setting out on their quest. Witnessing the torture and punishment of the Japanese first hand, it's not long before the priests face a spiritual crisis as they begin to question all that they previously believed.
