Patagonia's Dark Secrets Unveiled in Thriller

A new psychological crime thriller, "A Silent Death," is poised for a North American release in the third quarter of 2026. Directed by Sebastian Schindel, the film is set against the backdrop of '80s Patagonia.

The narrative follows a hunting guide who stumbles upon a violent crime connected to his niece. This discovery propels him into an investigation that exposes the deeply buried secrets of a tumultuous era. The film boasts a talented cast, including Joaquín Furriel, known for his role in Schindel's "The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime."

Additional stars gracing the screen are Soledad Villamil, recognized for her role in "The Secret in Their Eyes," and Alejandro Awada from "Nine Queens." Kirk D'Amico of Myriad Pictures expressed excitement about bringing this suspenseful and multi-layered film to North American audiences, praising Schindel's direction and Guillermo Nieto's cinematography for creating a chilling atmosphere.

FilmSharks' Guido Rud noted Myriad Pictures as an ideal distributor for the film in North America, while Latin American rights were acquired by The Walt Disney Company. Movistar+ secured rights for Spain, and AV Jet for Taiwan, with ongoing discussions for distribution in France, Germany, Korea, Italy, and Japan.
