SILENCIO
Silencio is an eerie psychological drama that explores the dismantling of one man’s seemingly happy family.
Meet Franco Dañado, a middle aged college professor who has only seen his family as an “All American” happy loving family. Only to finally be confronted by the truth of his hateful & sadistic wife and children.
Silencio is the first film in a series of five unrelated films written by filmmaker Robb S. García from a series of vivid, unsettling dreams he had over the course of six months shortly before being diagnosed with a Meningioma brain tumor.
