We say the most when we aren’t speaking. In the silences between words we are at our most vulnerable and we reveal our most naked selves. It is in the pauses where we really exist. Three scenarios present themselves: in the first, a woman on the brink of suicide converses with her absent lover. In the second, two women in captivity come face to face with a shared past. In the third, a young girl is tortured because she cannot remember her name. In a single room suspended in time, four women played by two actresses explore the ways in which silence manipulates, tortures, or drives human beings to the brink.
