Sommerfuglene (literally, The Butterflies; English title: Summer of Silence)[1] is a Norwegian film from 1974 directed by Christian Boger.[1][2][3][4]

Plot

[edit]

A young speech therapist arrives at a lonely farm in an mysterious forest to teach a teenage girl to speak after many years of silence. He encounters a strange family, and the summer is full of emotions, confusion, and love hidden in a veil of silence and sounds. Laughter and fun resonate in tragedy. They are surrounded by summer with jealousy, suspicion, and fear, behind closed doors and windows. Occasionally there is a picnic in the forest, or a boat trip on the river, and then sudden departure when summer is over.[5]
