Spain, summer 1961.
Raphaël is an idealistic teacher whose village school is closed down by an authoritarian regime that stifles free speech.

But what if exile isn't an escape, but a path to reconciliation?
The Quiet Beyond the War is a sensitive and luminous portrait of blood ties, historical wounds and the power of forgiveness.
