Mascha Schilinski, a German director, expresses her nerves and excitement about her film 'Sound of Falling' being screened at the prestigious 78th Cannes International Film Festival. This film, which portrays the intertwined lives of four generations of women on a farm in northeastern Germany, marks her significant achievement since being the only German director in the main competition. Schilinski hopes to resonate with audiences as she showcases a sweeping narrative that explores the histories embedded in familial spaces, competing for the esteemed Golden Palm award against notable filmmakers.
