Silences, from Patrick Attali and Thibaut Miche, hits theaters on November 4, 2026. Juliette Perez and Moussa Maaskri bring to life a story about school bullying and the role of witnesses.

Silences, a drama from Patrick Attali and Thibaut Miche, arrives in French cinemas on November 4, 2026. Starring Juliette Perez and Moussa Maaskri, the film follows a teenage girl as she grapples with schoolyard bullying and online harassment.

Sarah is 15. The circulation of private photos at middle school sparks ongoing harassment and gradually isolates her. The narrative also looks at those who witness the situation: classmates, adults, and bystanders whose reactions can change the course of events.

Presented by its team as inspired by a true story, Silences tackles the consequences of bullying through the arc of this young girl. The bystanders’ perspectives widen the narrative beyond the simple victim–harasser dynamic.

An educational booklet has been prepared to guide discussions in schools around the film's themes. This initiative extends the film's release by fostering awareness and dialogue with students.
