Le Silence de la Mer (English: The Silence of the Sea) is a 2004 French-Belgian TV drama film directed by Pierre Boutron, based on the 1942 book of the same name by Jean Bruller (published clandestinely under the pen name "Vercors"), and starring Thomas Jouannet, Julie Delarme and Michel Galabru. The story takes place in 1941 during World War II, and concerns the relationship of a Frenchman and his granddaughter with a German captain, who occupies their house during the German occupation of France.[1][2]
Plot[]
France, 1941. During the Nazi Occupation of France, Werner von Ebrennac, a German Wehrmacht captain requests the house of a man and his granddaughter, Jeanne Larosière, a young piano teacher, to lodge with them. The officer, passionate about French culture, speaks perfect French and is also a classical pianist and composer. Every evening he shares his ideals and his passion for France with his hosts, who oppose him with a fierce and unshakable silence, the only way for them to mark their hostility to the German occupation. Jeanne tries to ignore Werner, but the German officer soon infatuates her.
