**Trailer-Style Paraphrase:**
*In the quiet intensity of an elite tennis academy, a young athlete carries the weight of an unspoken truth. “Julie Keeps Quiet” is a gripping, hyper-realistic drama that strips away the glamour of sports to reveal the raw cost of ambition, silence, and survival.*
Fifteen-year-old Julie (Tessa Van den Broeck, a revelation in her acting debut) trains relentlessly, her every stroke a battle between discipline and despair. When a scandal rocks her academy—a teammate’s suicide, a suspended coach—the pressure mounts. Everyone wants answers. But Julie stays silent.
Is she protecting herself? Someone else? Or is her refusal to speak the only control she has left?
Director Leonardo Van Dijl crafts a haunting portrait of repression, where the real tension isn’t in the matches but in what goes unsaid. With mesmerizing realism, the film immerses us in Julie’s world—grueling drills, whispered rumors, the suffocating expectations of success.
*”Julie Keeps Quiet” isn’t just a sports film. It’s a quiet storm of emotion, a story of resilience that lingers long after the final shot.*
**Expanding March 28 in New York and Chicago, nationwide April 4.**
