 Set in New York in 1972, my silent sadness is about Frederyk Baczynski (Larry Hankin), a reclusive Polish Jewish Artist who spends every day of his life trying to hide from his memories of the Holocaust. When Maria (Enci), a young, uninvited stranger from Poland enters his studio looking for answers to the mysteries of her own childhood, Frederyk is forced to remember everything. Through Frederyk s memories, Maria unlocks a secret from her own past, a secret that will change both of their lives forever.
