Today's film: Noise
(109 minutes, in English)
This is a story about the
wrong person in the right place at the wrong
time.
Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town
reeling. Police quickly connect
them but are desperate for witnesses as the
local community enfolds itself in a
shroud of secrecy, borne of fear and
mistrust of authority. A
young police
constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a
chronic hearing problem and
applies for worker's compensation. To his
chagrin, he is stationed at a police
caravan near the crime scene. Living on the
periphery of the investigation,
McGahan crosses paths with the various
people affected by the tragedies and
uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt
and suspicion.
