About

A haunting, multigenerational drama set in a remote German farmhouse, where the lives of four adolescent girls, each from different eras over the past century, unfold and intertwine. When a young girl discovers a photograph of a sister she never knew existed, it sparks a journey into the farmhouse's buried past. Each girl's story emerges through fragmented vignettes, linked by unseen threads of trauma, suppressed desire and the oppressive weight of tradition, but also by resilience and moments of rebellion, echoing across the decades and bound together within the farmhouse's weathered walls.

Starring Hanna Heckt, Lena Urzendowsky, Susanne Wuest

REVIEWS
"Schilinski is in such control of every frame, every cut, prop and camera move that it's often breathtaking just to witness the emergence of this grandly interlaced tapestry of grief." ★★★★★ Kevin Maher, The Times

"It's a cliché to say that a film will stay with you long after you leave the cinema. This one could haunt you to the grave." ★★★★★ David Hughes, Time Out

"Haunting images layer the past and the present over the course of the film, making quiet connections that transport the audience to other worlds and times and, ultimately, to mortality." ★★★★★ Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups

"It is a complex puzzle box, powered by the sensory and sensual, and a strong statement of intent from a bright spark in the German filmmaking scene." Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
