The Silence of the Sky (2017)

Mario, a father of two, has just come back home after a lengthy separation from his girlfriend Diana. He's a fearful man, scared of so many things that she keeps a running list of his phobias. When Diana is attacked in their home, she decides to keep it a secret from him -- presumably because he'd be unable to handle it. What she doesn't know is that he witnessed the attack but stayed frozen in silence until it was too late to intervene.

The rest of the film is Mario willing himself to be someone different in order to step up and handle the attackers. Interesting, but also a bit too quietly told. It felt more like a character study than a thriller.
