In die Sonne Schauen
Over the course of a century, as four girls from different time periods experience their youth on a German farm, their lives become intertwined until time seems to dissolve.
The action takes place in the same location: a farm in Saxony-Anhalt in northeastern Germany. Each segment is rooted in the perspective of one or two central characters - usually sisters, or mothers and daughters - but the connections from one timeline to the next are seldom clarified up front. Gradually, the connections between the characters reveal themselves, as if caught in a stream-of-consciousness. Like Haneke’s ‘The White Ribbon’, Schilinski’s film is something like a ghost story. As visually innovative as it is thematically stunning, the century of women’s stories is intertwined with a spiritual lens. (Subtitles)
