In his directorial debut, Masa Tăcerii (Table of Silence), Adrian Samson explores the impact of the communist regime on post-communist Romania. The film highlights the pervasive silence within families—a taboo topic across Eastern Europe, especially in former communist nations. Samson delves into how this lack of communication, ingrained over generations, shapes relationships, often unnoticed. This silence is depicted not only as a remnant of political repression but also as an emotional barrier embedded in daily life. Table of Silence captures the quiet resignation of many who do not perceive this silence as an issue, offering a reflective look at the social dynamics shaped by history. Through powerful visuals, the film invites audiences to consider the hidden effects of generational silence.
