THE CAST
Germany’s shortlisted Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards, Sound of Falling’s revelatory ensemble cast features Hanna Heckt (Stille Nacht, raue Nacht), Lea Drinda (Danke für nichts), Lena Urzendowsky (Cocoon), Laeni Geiseler (Smalltown Girl), Susanne Wuest (Inedia), and Luise Heyer (The Sparrow in the Chimney).
THE PREMISE
Sound of Falling tracks the lives of four adolescent girls (Alma, Erika, Angelika, Lenka) across the last century – their desires and distress, their secrets and truths, their encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return. Though separated by time, far-reaching resonances emerge as echoes of experience linger.
Sensual and sensory, this transcendent, awe-inducing film invites audiences to witness an eternal summer, a constant now, and ask: what is looking back at us from the past – or perhaps even from the future?
Sound Of Falling premieres exclusively on MUBI on April 24th.
