Plot summary
As a forestry student doing an internship, Anja Grimm ends up in that remote area in the Upper Palatinate Forest, where she went on vacation with her parents as an eight-year-old girl and her father disappeared without a trace. Her job is to take soil samples to create a soil map. At one point in the forest floor she comes across abnormal irregularities. Not long after their arrival, a brutal murder occurs. Anja soon arouses suspicion and hostility not only among the villagers with her suspicion that the perpetrator knows something about her father's fate and with her questions about the atypical soil composition in the forest clearing. Even the police react extremely reservedly to their investigations. And when it turns out that the young woman can read the signs of the forest like an open book, forces mobilize in the village who are apparently ready for anything because there is a dark secret that needs to be kept.

This film, which only Germans can do well, reminds me of another important film, Natural Light (Természetes fény) 2021 directed by Dénes Nagy, not only for its subject matter but for its exceptional photography. Although set in current times, we experience the terrible consequences of the past that, like a horseman of the apocalypse, returns to life to flog the survivors of terrible times. I made the subs in Spanish, as always I put them in opensubtitles (dot) com. Really every society makes certain unique movies and this is one of them. Thank you Freeman for this priceless gift.
I think this is the wrong movie poster for this movie...

@mrno4u You are right, this cover is from the 2020 Taiwanese tv movie, Wu sheng (The Silent Forest). A boy with hearing impairment transfers to a school for children with special needs. But his excitement at integrating into a new environment immediately turns to fear when he witnesses the reality that happens at school.
