Julie zwijgt

Julie, who plays at an elite tennis academy in Belgium and is considered one of the country's brightest talents, has dedicated her life entirely to the game of tennis. However, one day, her coach Jérémy, is criticized for his suspicious training methods and is removed from his position. Following this, an investigation is launched and all the players at the club are asked to give statements. However, Julie refuses to speak. In a situation where everyone around her is speaking, the pressure on Julie gradually increases. Leonardo Van Dijls's striking first film in his directing career handles the themes of power and control in a silent but very effective way. "The Silence of Julie" made its world premiere at the Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival and won two awards.

The film left a strong impact on the audience. Julie's silence and determination had a significant impact on the development of the story and the dramatic conclusion that resulted. The film was shot in Belgium.
