The Bay of Silence is based on the book by Lisa St. Aubin de Teran,published in 1986.

 

The Bay of Silence exists in Liguria,Italy,it's the place where the leading characters spent their holiday.

Eight months later they move into a new London house,as newly weds,and the female lead is pregnant .

 

Wanting to take a picture of her husband buried by her twins in the sand, the lead falls off the balcony of the house as the railing was shaky.

 

Luckily,the baby survives,but the wife believes she had twins. She keeps on getting worse and worse,until one day when he gets home from a trip and finds out she's gone and took the kids with her.

 

He finds her in France,in her abandoned childhood house,the baby dead,the twins taking care of themselves without any food or water.

 

The movie is good,it has a good soundtrack, the actors were all good .

 

I personally didn't like how people dealt with the lead's problem. She had mental issues but nobody bothered to tell the husband. Even now,as he tries to find her,and find out what happened to her,they still keep him in the dark. The leading character has serious mental issues,and I'm not sure she should be allowed to be alone with children.

 

The Bay of Silence is streaming on Prime Video, Hulu, and Starz.

 

Rating : Worth a watch !
