They Remained Silent (Los que callan)

Directed by Albert Folk
Spain

18 mins

Short Film Award

A scrupulous lawyer with a high sense of responsibility is appointed to defend one of the accused of the so-called "ATM's crime," where three young men burned a homeless woman. A guilty plea seems the most obvious solution, but when she first meets her client, he strongly refuses to go along.


Albert Folk graduated from ESCAC (Catalonia Film School) as a documentary filmmaker; his works have been broadcast by local, regional, and national stations (XTVL, BTV, TVC, TVE).
