Habt ihr euch je gefragt, wie Schweigen lauter als Worte sein kann? David Leans Meisterwerk Brief Encounter von 1945 zeigt uns genau das. In einem gewöhnlichen Bahnhofscafé entfaltet sich eine Geschichte unterdrückter Gefühle, die die Grundfesten der britischen Mittelschicht erschüttert. Nach Noël Cowards Theaterstück entstanden, beweist dieser Film: Die stärksten Emotionen sind oft die, die unausgesprochen bleiben.
