| 5 | The film takes place in 1950s Tuscany, Italy. Clarke plays Verena, a young nurse who makes it a point to not become emotionally involved or attached to the children she is hired to help take care of as she always ends up leaving them. A young heir, Jakob, refuses to speak after the death of his mother from an unspecified illness. Jakob spends nearly every night with his ear against the wall in his room, believing that he can hear the voice of his mother. Verena, while staying with the family, is determined to make Jakob speak again, and to help him and his father, Klaus (Csokas), move on after the death of his wife. However, it seems that the mysterious aura of the castle is beginning to take a hold of Verena and influence her mind the longer she stays there... |
