It is a drama in which intergenerational trauma, genetic memories, visions and experiences are repressed and passed on to descendants and grandchildren, which can return as neurotic symptoms of the repressed people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">With its visual rhymes and inexplicable cosmic resonance, the film speaks of militarism and anger, guilt and fear. An idyllic world of rural Germany, with dark hints of abuse and infertility, female slavery in domestic slavery, and the political currents of the city are vaguely recognizable. And it hints at the terrible sorrow of the former East Germans, who spent 40 years after the war in a Soviet vassal state only to realize that their efforts and sacrifices were in vain. The film&#8217;s original German title was In Die Sonne Schauen, or Staring at the Sun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The action takes place in the same location over four different time periods: a farm in Saxony-Anhalt, northeastern Germany, and four buildings surrounding a courtyard. During and immediately after World War I, a young man named Fritz (Philip Schnack) had his leg amputated after a &quot;workplace accident&#8221; his family agreed to. He must be bathed and intimately cared for by Trudy (Lusia Opperman), a maid who carries a burden of unnameable cruelty. The chapter centers on Alma (Hannah Hecht), a young girl who blandly and inexplicably accepts her family&#8217;s strange traditions, the gruesome &quot;death photos&#8221; of her deceased family members, and is puzzled by photos like these of people who look like her.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"9a8ff72f-cc76-41e1-b921-1613958d788a\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.VideoYoutubeBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\">\n<div data-component=\"youtube-embed\" class=\"dcr-13aa88h\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/O-jgGbvLgVo?wmode=opaque&#038;feature=oembed\" title=\"SOUND OF FALLING | Official Trailer | In Theaters January 16\" height=\"480\" width=\"854\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Years later, in the same house, Erika (Lea Drinda) develops a morbid, quasi-erotic fascination with the older \u201cUncle Fritz\u201d (Martin Rother) and his fantastic self-image as an amputee. Later, in the former East Germany, Angelica (Lena Urzendowski) is a teenage farm worker who is abused by her loathsome uncle Uwe (Konstantin Lindhorst) and dreams-likely realize that Uwe&#8217;s son, her cousin Rainer (Florian Geiselmann), is indignantly in love with her. Angelica experiences a strange fate like Alma when she joins a family group to take a Polaroid group photo. And in modern, unified Germany, Lenka (Rhaeni Geisler) becomes friends with Kaya (Ninel Geiger), a strange and intense girl who lost her mother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Gradually and progressively the connections between the characters are revealed, and the film also hints at more characters and more bizarre and prophesied events to come. What unites them is not only the farm, but the river in which they swim. This river forms part of the western border and is home to eels as slippery and repulsive as the English Fenlands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Perhaps like Haneke&#8217;s The White Ribbon, Mascha Schilinski&#8217;s film is like a ghost story or even folk horror, and there&#8217;s a damp uneasiness to every scene as the camera wanders away from the ghostly scenes. The soundtrack pulses and moans with ambient anxiety. There is a deep sense of fear and sadness.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><span data-dcr-style=\"bullet\"\/>    Sound of Falling screened at the Cannes Film Festival and will be shown in UK cinemas from March 6.<\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hourHere is a mysterious and eerie prose poem about guilt, shame and longing in 20th-century Germany and 21st-century Germany.
