Our Silent Footsteps

They say that to really know a person you need to understand their past. If that is true, then Mary Beker did not know her husband at all. They say that to really know a person you need to understand their past. If that is true, then Mary Beker did not know her husband, Jozef, at all… Warsaw, 2005. An elderly Mary is searching for clues regarding her late husband’s pre-war life: the first wife and children he had to leave behind; the siblings who vanished. There’s a danger the answers she finds could ruin the memory of the man she adored, memories of their time together. When unravelling his past causes her to revisit uncomfortable memories of her own, Mary must reach a new understanding of the events that brought them together. Spanning continents, cultures and time, Our Silent Footsteps is based on the true story of Mary, an Egyptian Copt and Jozef, a Polish Jew. A love story transcending the trauma of war.
