Tuesday, 17.00 Silence at Sea

Ticho na mori1941 French detention camp detaining mostly criminals and political prisoners. When resistance fighters murdered a German officer, Hitler ordered that 150 French prisoners be executed. The subsequent death of 17-year-old Guya Moqueta became a symbol of the French revolt against the German occupation. His suicide note is read annually in French schools. Images reconstruct the events leading up to the execution of each prisoner. Director Volker Schlöndorff shows the tragic events from the convicted perspective, without a defense of the blind obedience of German soldiers and their superiors.
