Synopsis

When a new family moves in next door, Joe's mum explains they are asylum seekers. Mishearing this as 'silence seekers,' Joe believes they need a quiet place. Spotting the family's young son looking sad on the steps, Joe sets out to help him find peace amidst the city's noise. This touching story gently introduces themes of friendship and understanding, encouraging discussions about refugees and the importance of empathy.
