The story takes place in a small village in Romania in September 1953. Ranku (played by Alexandru Potocean) and Mara (played by Meda Victor) are about to have their grand wedding. This couple loves each other so much that apart from having sex and getting married, It seems that they can no longer find any better way to convey their feelings. However, just at this moment of great joy, news came that the dictator Stalin had passed away. To pay their respects to him, Ranku and Mara were told that they had to call off their wedding. For Ranku and Mara, how could the death of an insignificant person stop their love? A silent wedding came into being. Here, "silence" represents complete stillness, without any words, nor any sounds brought about by collisions, tugging, or chewing. The resistance against power and dictatorship brought the villagers long-lost joy, but it also turned this special wedding into a funeral in the end.[Collapse]
