# The Answering Machine (2026)

**Duration:** 90 min

## Description

Julia, a young opera singer from Berlin, lives for her art. But between the expectations of her family, the pressures of an uncompromising career and growing emotional isolation, her inner balance begins to fracture.

As messages accumulate on her answering machine, the voices of the outside world start to penetrate ever deeper into her mind. What first seems ordinary and familiar gradually becomes part of an internal soundscape in which memory, fear and reality can no longer be clearly separated.
