On what silences does a country stand?


Silence has many forms, and it is expressed in many ways. There
is the silence after receiving bad news, the silence of shame, or
silences that appear when family secrets are sensed. And then
there is silence as a verb: to silence. It’s what happens when
someone speaks, but don't listen to them. In order to hear one of
these voices, this episode begins with us sending a recorder to a
woman. She lives somewhere very far, but also very close. We
asked her to do just one thing: to record herself every day; to
record what she did, what she thought, to record herself at home
and at work, when she was alone and also with her friends or her
family. This episode is the diary of that woman, in that place: a
place to which we are united by many things; above all, by a
great silence.
