Film Overview

Closeted Orthodox high school senior Noam (Charlie Korman) is reeling after his grandfather’s death. But when he comes upon a decades-old love letter that could prove he and his grandfather had more in common than he originally thought, he discovers a history that could change his life.After the death of his beloved grandfather, Noam discovers a mysterious note in his belongings, suggesting Noam may have had more in common with his grandfather than either of them ever knew. While growing up, Noam has heard from everyone that he looks and acts just like his grandfather did when he was young. This has always been comforting to Noam because, as a closeted gay teenager in a Modern Orthodox Jewish family, he has often felt alone and out of place… that is, until he discovers his grandfather’s letter. With his new friend, and potential love interest, by his side, Noam embarks on a forbidden journey to learn more about his grandfather’s hidden past. A touching coming-of-age story, UNSPOKEN embraces discovery of all kinds—most importantly, the discovery of oneself. —G.S. GUEST(S) IN ATTENDANCE
