Soft Spoken

“Soft Spoken” is a silent film noir that follows two mimes, Pinky and Bluesy, as they navigate a world of silence and physical expression. While their performances bring joy to others, they witness brutal violence and grapple with whether to remain silent or speak out. As they continue to perform, they reencounter the assailant, leading to a pivotal moment of confrontation and sacrifice.
