GER26 Sound of Falling

In die Sonne schauen
Declared the joint winner of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, the highly acclaimed Sound of Falling is a breathtaking and lyrical drama from visionary director Mascha Schilinski.
Over the course of a century, four adolescent girls from different time periods, Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka, each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany, alongside the river Elbe between Berlin and Hamburg.
As the farmhouse evolves over the tumultuous 20th century, echoes of the past and generations of secrets linger in its weathered walls. Though separated by time, resonances between the girls’ lives soon emerge. Experiencing parallel desires, lost innocence, loneliness and secrets, the lives of the four girls begin to intertwine and mirror each other while time appears to dissolve.
A haunting and intimate cinematic experience for fans of art-house and poetic cinema, Sound of Falling delivers an immersive portrait of adolescence, generational shifts, the search for meaning, power of memory and the travails of rural life.
