Film: White Sound, The (weisse Rauschen, Das)

Germany released

This film is about a man(Lukas) who is tired of getting her schizophrenic brother out of serious trouble. But Lukas unwaveringly follows his self-destructive way of living. He is obsessed with the thought that the whole world is against him


The White Sound deals sensitively with the effects of schizophrenia without presenting a "thesis play".

Although the main characters have to fight serious problems, they do not despair.

They take on the challenge, developing tricks to succeed and get through life.
After watching this film, my mind about the color "white" is changed. Before, I think white is kind of pure and peaceful. But "the White Sound" actually means the white noice, meaning that white can be so annoying. The contrast created is interesting and inspiring.
