The Silent House Page #2

Synopsis: The plot is based on a true story that happened in the late '40s in a small village in Uruguay. The film focuses on Laura, who, second by second, intends to leave a house, which hides an obscure secret, unharmed. Laura and her father Wilson settle down in a cottage they have to renew since its owner will soon put the house up for sale. They will spend the night there and repair the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own, waiting for her father to come down.

- I needed to see you.

- Shut up!

- Don't you remember?

- Shut up!

- Do you remember... we agreed to discuss it.

- Be quiet!

- Remember, remember...

- Be quiet!

You knew we could not keep her.

- What did you do to your father? Did you kill him, Laura?

- Shut up! Be quiet!

- Keep your mouth shut! Shut up!!

- He knew it was the best... It was for the best.

- Shut up!! Shut up!!

- Listen to me. Listen to me.

Keep as your mouth shut!! Quiet!!

You lied to me.

He lied to me like you did.

You murdered my baby!

You will die like my father.

Smile.

Smile.

Six days later the police found the mutilated bodies along with some disturbing photographs.

Despite the overwelming evidence it wasn't possible to finish the investigation.

Eight months later the case was completely closed.

Laura was never found.

Sophie!

Sophie!

How's my little girl! You look beautiful!

- Were you playing?

- Yes.

- Do you want to visit your grandmother?

- Yes.

It's been such a long long time since we've seen her.

We can ride a horse.

And drink a cup of hot milk.

Let's go this way here.

It will be perfect, we will go swimming.

Would you like to go swimming?

Because you see, grandma has a canoe.

It's a very small boat.

Do you know what a canoe? No?

It's a boat, but it's really tiny.

And only three people can sit in it.

You, your grandmother and me.

And also the doll.

Did you know that grandmother wants to meet you very much?

But she lives very far away...

And we must walk and walk. Walk very far.

And over there...

We will be able to see...

We'll be able to see a lot of sunshine.

Out in the countryside.

Does it hurt?

No?

Do you like it or don't you want to walk further?

Sophie, I love you very much.

Did you know that there is a tree with a house in it?

When I was a child I used to play there. I was going every day.

You can also go and play there.

It's near a lake...
