Sound of Falling

The coming-of-age stories of four girls, each growing up in a different era on a farm in northern Germany, are woven into a mesmerizing cinematic poem in Mascha Schilinski's  film—a work that captivated the Cannes Film Festival and earned the Jury Prize. Spanning from the early 20th century to the present day, the film follows the lives of Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka as they navigate the sweeping tides of history—from the horrors of World War II to the comforts of the modern age. Told in a lyrical, visually stunning, and deeply original cinematic language, their stories ebb and flow across time, connected by threads of passion, fear, love, and surrender.
