Silent, in the subtitles to a black screen, essayistic thoughts unravel. They start with childhood memories, the recognition that what the narrator thought to be the homely hum of silence back then, actually was the far-away noise of a motorway. The film continues the reflections on the sound of the world and our classifications in a coordinate system of nature and technology, in sound image observations of rural and urban places. It can be read of birds imitating phone rings, and bird-voice-boxes simulating nature. In interaction with the reflections of filmmaker and sound designer Katharina Pichler, which continue in the subtitles, we are immersed in soundscapes of modernity, and what we think of as silence or noise appears in new perspectives.
