Sound of Falling

On a remote farm in eastern Germany, where the river quietly laps at the banks and the wind rustles the cornfields, a hundred years of women's destinies unfold. Four girls—Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka—grow up in different decades, but their desires, fears, and life choices are disturbingly similar. Their voices intertwine like echoes in an old house that remembers everything. Mascha Schilinski, the directorial revelation of the decade, has created a hypnotic family saga that won her the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
