Meeres Stille (2013)

Family vacation at a remote house by the sea - Helen, Johannes and their daughter Frances. Something is amiss. Slight confusions, subtle shifts in reality. An indistinct anxiety grows, while the house unfolds a disturbing story around a little boy, who tries after his mother's death to save his sorrowing father with piano music. But things change. Everything is connected. All of them play boules: whoever touches the center, loses. Times get blurred. A stranger appears. Seems oddly familiar. The family structure gets cracks. Something unspoken in between. Lost memories urge to the surface: Pain, sounds, picture fragments haunt Helen - vestiges of the past. She delves deep into her subconscious mind in search of an answer: But what does it take? The mosaic becomes a picture. A disquieting silence. Nothing really disappears. Nothing is ever really forgotten.
