About

Silent Wedding is a 2008 Romanian comedy-drama film about a young couple who was about to celebrate their marriage in 1953, but they were ordered to desist by the occupying Red Army and Communist authorities because the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had died the night before. Since they could not openly celebrate, the wedding-goers try to party in silence.
