We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Distribution IDF Events Financial support Photogallery

A TV documentary with an artistic angle and emotional story about two railroad workers, brothers, who were willing to sacrifice family life for their childhood dream, which eventually became their only silent passion. For many of us, it is just a memory bridge into childhood; for them the level of intensity and self devotion for a ‘hobby’ is much higher than common sense would suggest. Their side-tracked train wagon with a model railroad inside is their shrine and sanctuary protecting them from real life and their unfortunate fate resulting in broken relationships and failed marriages. Silent Passion is about humanity, enthusiasm, devotion and the ability to experience passion in a silent, yet emotional and expressive way.
