Le Silence de la mer (lit. 'The silence of the sea') is a 2004 French-Belgian TV drama film directed by Pierre Boutron, based on the 1942 book of the same name by Jean Bruller (published clandestinely under the pen name "Vercors"), and starring Thomas Jouannet, Julie Delarme and Michel Galabru. The story takes place in 1941 during World War II, and concerns the relationship of a Frenchman and his granddaughter with a German captain, who occupies their house during the German occupation of France.
