Theater rehearsals in a provincial GDR city are thrown into confusion by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Silent Country presents a group of people amidst the upheavals caused by the political revolution in the former GDR. They act in a variety of ways: simply doing as they have always done, or rapidly adjusting to the new circumstances.
