The Quiet and the Loud

Description

The Quiet and the Loud explores the contours of friendship, family, forgiveness, trauma, and love, delving into the stories we suppress and those we voice. It reveals the healing that comes when we finally give words to what we have kept silent for so long.

George's life is loud. Yet, on the water, surrounded by quietness above and below, she finds steadiness and silence. But when her estranged father insists on talking, George's past begins to stir, threatening to drag her down.

Amidst the chaos, everything feels like a blazing mess. Could Calliope, the vibrant girl who suddenly twirls into George's world, become her peace amid the turmoil?
