Sounds, words and sentences are spoken and recorded, perhaps for the very last time. Only the inevitable is not mentioned. It lies inbetween what is said and beyond what is described. THE ENGINEER'S VOICE tells of what exists before, after and between the words, about the disappearance of a voice and the resistance to it. A love story in the East Westphalian province. Every image and every sound is a cosmos in itself and somewhere in between: Silence.
