Joel Kinnaman plays Shaw, a Boston Police Detective who suffers an on-the-job accident which leaves him newly deaf. Sixteen months later, he and his friend and partner (Mark Strong) must battle a team of corrupt cops attempting to eliminate a deaf murder witness in the apartment building where she lives.

Sandra Mae Frank, who is actually deaf, does a great job playing Ava - a woman struggling with her own demons as she tries to stay alive, which now includes trying to make Shaw feel better about his recent hearing loss.

The Silent Hour is directed by American filmmaker Brad Anderson, director of the films The Machinist, Transsiberian, Vanishing on 7th Street, The Call, Stonehearst Asylum, Beirut, Fractured, Blood, and episodes of the series Devil in Ohio and Invasion most recently.

The screenplay is written by Dan Hall. Produced by Eric Paquette.

Prorom releases The Silent Hour in cinemas in Romania on October 11.
