SHARED IN SILENCE

Portray the daily life of an elderly couple who has shared 45 years of marriage. Explore three distinct segments of their day where they find themselves in each other’s company, yet do not communicate verbally. Dive into the subtleties of their non-verbal interactions, shedding light on the unspoken language that has developed over decades.

Capture the nuances of their connection during these moments, whether it’s a shared morning routine, an afternoon spent in quiet companionship, or an evening ritual that speaks volumes about the depth of their relationship. Use sensory details, gestures, and the surrounding environment to convey the richness of their unspoken connection.

But, there is always a but…. Before you start writing come up with a memory or a secret that they share, that they haven’t spoken about in years, but seems to always be present.
