A family’s past and present intermingle in Germany’s eerie, elliptical ‘Sound of Falling’

Unlike many films that romanticize connections between people across time, “Sound of Falling” is raw and realistic. It moves effortlessly between the early 1900s and the present day, portraying humanity as a vulnerable species constantly battling hidden struggles that repeat through each generation. The film emphasizes the fleeting nature of life, showing how so many characters – and their aspirations – have faded into the past, much like we all will eventually.
