Silence follows two Portuguese priests, played by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, who travel to Japan to convert locals and track down their mentor, played by Liam, who has allegedly denounced God in public
Set in the 17th century, both priests must contend persecution and torture in the Asian country during a time when Catholicism was outlawed and their presence forbidden.

The film is based on the novel by Shusaku Endo of the same name and features stunning music from composers Kathryn Kluge and Kim Allen Kluge.
The multi-award winning director has been attempting to film Silence since 1991 but has now the right crew, cast and funding behind it and the film has already been tipped to win another Oscar for Martin.
The film is set to hit Irish cinemas nationwide on January 6th, 2017.
