Sound of Falling
dir. Mascha Schilinski · 2025
The experience of being alive is shaped by the connections we forge with others and the echoes of their lives that resonate through time.
Four adolescent girls inhabit the same farmhouse, each tethered to their own era yet bound by shared experiences of desire and distress. As their stories unfold, the weight of unspoken truths and the power of the gaze emerge as central motifs, inviting viewers into a reflective space where time feels both fluid and heavy. Watching it is like stepping into a dream where the past and present intertwine, revealing the complexities of growing up and the haunting echoes of choices made and left unmade.
Four adolescent girls each spend their youth in the same farmhouse over the last century. Though separated by decades, resonances between their lives emerge: their desires and distress, secrets and truths, encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return.
