Sound of Falling

A secluded four-sided farmhouse in the Altmark, Northern Germany. For over a century, the walls have breathed the lives of the people who live here, their tastes, their being in time. Sound of Falling tells the story of four women from different eras – Alma (1910s), Erika (1940s), Angelika (1980s), Nelly (2020s) – whose lives are eerily interwoven. Each of them experienced their childhood or youth on this farm, but as they wander through their own present, traces of the past reveal themselves. Unspoken fears, repressed traumas, buried secrets. Alma discovers she was named after her deceased sister and believes she must follow the very same fate. Erika loses herself in a dangerous fascination with her injured uncle. Angelika balances between a longing for death and a lust for life, trapped in a fragile family system. Finally, Nelly, who grows up in apparent security, is haunted by intense dreams and the unconscious burden of the past. When a tragic event is repeated on the farm, the boundaries between past and present will begin to blur...
