Sound of Silence
Synopsis
An old retired soldier from Myanmar Army recalls a terrifying front-line experience he had during his active duty. His memory takes us into his traumatized mind via the actual combat footage he was watching. What comes out is a deeply wounded soul, neglected by the very system he served, and the very costly price the war demands from its participants.
