Synopsis
Erik, recently retired, is looking forward to some post-work adventure and to enjoy his family. These plans are thrown into doubt as the harsh reality of his wife Juditha’s accelerating illness causes his own health to deteriorate. Juditha refuses to accept any outside help as Erik buckles under the pressure. QUIET FREEDOM explores a long-married couple’s difficult choices and the need to rediscover the foundation of their marriage to find each other again.
