The Silent Planet

The film opens with a quotation from the Oiean Book of Escape: “… and they ascended into that silence at the very top of the world / where all they could hear was their self.” In the future, Earth has become partially occupied by a pacific migrant extraterrestrial species, the Oieans; despite their innocuous nature, their growing numbers cause global social unrest among humans, who engage in conflicts against them. At this time, humans charged with the crimes of murder, terrorism or treason may be sent to uninhabited planets to serve life imprisonment completely alone there.
