Jean, in his fifties, has lost his lust for life. He leaves Canada for a faraway country, somewhere in Europe. A beautiful place to end his days, he thought. But that was without counting on the formidable resilience of the inhabitants and residents of the Hotel Silence.
Hotel Silence is a Canadian-Swiss drama film, directed by Léa Pool and released in 2024. Adapted from Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir's 2016 novel Hotel Silence (Ör), the film stars Sébastien Ricard as Jean, a depressed man who travels to a war-torn country with the intent of ending his life there, but who finds new perspective on his life when he becomes involved in the country's efforts to rebuild.
