The Silence

Sweden. Original title: Tystnaden. Traveling through an unnamed central European country on the brink of war, sickly, intellectual Ester (Ingrid Thulin), her sister Anna (Gunnel Lindblom) and Anna's young son, Johan (Jörgen Lindström), check into a nearly empty hotel. A basic inability to communicate among the three seems only to worsen during their stay. Anna provokes her sister by enjoying a dalliance with a local man, while the boy, left to himself, has a series of enigmatic encounters that heighten the growing air of isolation.

Anna attends a traveling stage show performed by a portly man in a suit and seven Spanish dwarfs.

At 39:03, the man tosses a single club in the air and catches it. He then picks up and juggles 2 plates in 1 hand and then manipulates them with both hands, all while the dwarfs are doing various acrobatics.
