The Day Silence Died

Into the Bolivian hamlet of Villaserena comes a mysterious stranger who sets up a radio and loudspeakers in the town square, playing music (Elvis, no less!) and selling air time to townspeople to broadcast their dirty laundry….and secret desires. When the radio operator falls in love with the shackled daughter of a cuckolded husband, "The Day Silence Died" settles into its "dreamy, lyrical way, gathering a comic momentum built on themes of sexual jealousy and theatrical legendemain!" (The New York Times)
