Synopsis: A man is struggling to make sense out of a series of peculiar events that happen to him. He asks for help to his psychiatrist but she is no use. He ends up down the river. As he keeps exploring he slowly discovers a new himself. Feeling the irresistible call from the water running toward the sea he follows his inner nature. Il Silenzio del Mare tells the story of someone who struggles to feel in tune with his inner spirit but nevertheless slowly learns how to embrace change. It’s the story of a life-changing decision in the making, a declaration of independence.
