A man of faith succumbs to a temptation he cannot resist in this drama written and directed by Carlos Reygadas. Johan and Esther have been married for years, and live with their children in a Mennonite community Mexico. While Johan and Esther are both taciturn by nature, a moral dilemma is tearing Johan apart – he’s been having an affair with another woman in their circle, Marianne, and feels he may be falling in love with her. While the tenants of his faith strictly forbid adultery, his need to be with Marianne seems stronger than the dictates of his moral compass. “Silent Light” received its world premiere at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
