Germany’s entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 2026 Academy Awards
Four adolescent girls (Alma, Erika, Angelika, Lenka) 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. –MUBI
In SOUND OF FALLING, one of the most stunningly beautiful films of 2025, director/co-writer Mascha Schilinski, co-writer Louise Peter, and cinematographer Fabian Gamper create a swirling, overlapping spiderweb of history in one house that is both unapologetically opaque and hypnotically engaging. Set in 4 distinct periods (1910s, ‘40s, ‘80s, and 2020s), SOUND OF FALLING immerses the audience in the history of place while also evoking heartbreaking cycles of psychological and physical pain that echo across generations.
