What is Sound of Falling about?

Four girls growing up decades apart — in the 1910s, 1940s, 1980s, and 2020s — share the same farmhouse in rural northern Germany, their lives quietly echoing one another across generations. Mascha Schilinski's sophomore feature weaves their stories into a single tapestry of girlhood, trauma, and inherited memory, letting the house itself hold what each era leaves behind.
