*SPOILERS*
English titles: Lorna's Silence; The Silence of Lorna.
Lorna is an Albanian woman who pays a Belgian man to marry her so that she can get Belgian citizenship. He is a drug addict trying to quit drugs. Lorna's "agent" plans to give her husband an overdose so that she gets quickly available for a new wedding, this time with a Russian who will pay them for it.
Apparently, there is nothing easier than giving an overdose to someone you want to get rid of. At least, that is what we learn from this film. Oh, and, if in L'enfant we learned that the Belgian police are not very diligent, in Le silence de Lorna we learn that they are not very bright. About the title, no idea what it is supposed to be referring to. This film relies on an overly convoluted plot to express the idea that women are easily driven mad, particularly when they are in the criminal business. It seems to imply that Lorna somehow found a truer love with the drug addict than with her Albanian lover, a plot element which makes the film a variation on such films as Green Card, and Les noces de papier.
