OUR FILMS SONS OF WAR
|
SILENT QUARRY SYNOPSIS Mauthausen. The largest death camp maintained in Austria by Hitler’s feared elite guard, the SS. Silent Quarry is the sequel to the Kudu Productions film, Sons of War, in which the son of a World War Two veteran and his father were unable to discuss the father's service during World War Two. It appeared the elder thought it best to leave that time of his life in Belgium and Germany. One experience the father needed to address was having witnessed the death camp at Mauthausenm, Austria. His eyes saw unimaginable things. His sense of smell never fully recovered from the short time he was there and it’s not clear if he was ever able to reconcile the insanity. Fortunately, his son was at his side and listened intently when the need arose to attempt freeing himself of those images. The father is gone now and no longer has to deal with that pain. The son, however, now needs to see what remains of the place that provided the only stage for what little they were able to discuss about the war. The son travelled to Austria, found his way to Mauthausen and writes to his deceased father telling him what remains of the camp and how he now better understands his fathers need to talk about that time and place.
