Silent Tears

Jaap van Heusden, Kees-Jan Mulder / Documentary / 2023 / 30'

The living room of a couple in Limburg is packed with statues of saints crying over all the bad news on their TV screen. While hardly anyone believes them, the two “little prophets” are prepping for the fact that their rented house will soon turn into an international place of pilgrimage, all inclusive with a healing spring. Gradually, the question arises whether it is really so crazy that it is in the home of these people, that Mary cannot hold back her tears.
