Loosely based on Zgustova's own grandmother, "The Silent Woman" is about Sylva, half German, half Czech, born into aristocracy. As a young woman she underestimates the consequences of collaborating with the Nazis and loses everything but the man she loves. Then during the Communist era, he is sent away. At seventy, she finds out what happened him, and faces herself.
