A QUESTİON OF SİLENCE

A Question Of Silence
Netherlands,1982, 35 mm, Color, English
Director: Marlen Gorris

Three women who don’t know each other encounter in a boutique. One of them steals an item of clothing but gets caught by the owner of the shop. The other two women intervene and they three end up by beating the owner to death. The other shopping women ignore the case and leave the boutique while the crime is being committed. A woman psychiatrist is appointed by the court to examine these women’s case. Contrary to the general opinion, the psychiatrist claims that the women are not insane and that the crime is the result of a male-dominated society.
