NKVD officials have come for his father. Nikita’s parents ask him to destroy incriminating documents. Trying to finish the mission, the boy encounters an NKVD officer. Now he is facing an uneasy choice to hand over the documents or to fiercely resist.

   Director's Notes

The main subject of the film «Silent Night» is our indifference. By turning a blind eye to cruelty and injustice we become accomplices of the ongoing lawlessness. Nowadays the problem of human indifference is crucial. Today the media are full of news about political and military conflicts and, unfortunately, most people ignore the pain of others. However, in my opinion it is necessary to talk about this problem as much as possible.

   От режиссёра

Главной темой фильма «Спокойная ночь» - наше равнодушие. Закрывая глаза на жестокость и несправедливость, мы становимся соучастниками творящегося беззакония. В настоящее время остро стоит проблема человеческого равнодушия. Сегодня СМИ пестрят новостями о политических и военных конфликтах и, к сожалению, большинство людей игнорируют чужую боль. Однако, на мой взгляд, необходимо как можно больше говорить об этой проблеме.
