The meditation retreat is supposed to help them find inner peace. DAD, a larger-than-life Irish Jack-the-lad (think Barry Keoghan meets your cheeky uncle) is out of place from the get-go. He’s loud, rebellious and charming in a way that has everyone rolling their eyes, including his daughter. KID is here to find “herself”, but instead gets quickly caught up in her father’s wild antics. When the two steal a rare moment of privacy in the heavenly garden , what begins as whispers, a telling off and a hilarious culture clash slowly shifts, growing heavier with each passing word.

A comic yet haunting exploration on grief and the unspeakable, Sitting (In Silence) will leave you reflecting on the things we choose not to say, the silence that can divide us and what “healing” really means. Could those real moments of laughter and connection ultimately be what saves us?
