Summary: A film of great dramatic power and stunning visual beauty, "The Silence of Neto" is the first internationally acclaimed, award winning film produced entirely in Guatemala for the international market. Mixing magic-realism with historical events, and filmed in the colonial city of Antigua, "The Silence of Neto" tells the politically-charged story of a young boy striving to follow his dreams while his country struggles to preserve democracy amidst CIA coldwar propaganda.
