On Falling

Friday 25 April 2025 - Saturday 26 April 2025

Cinema

Set against a landscape dominated by an algorithm-driven gig economy, in a world designed to keep us apart, On Falling explores the silent, vital struggle to find meaning and connection.

It tells the story of Aurora, a Portuguese migrant working as a warehouse picker in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Trapped between the confines of a vast distribution centre and the solitude of her own bedroom, Aurora seeks out every opportunity to resist the alienation and isolation that threaten her sense of self.

 

‘This terrific English-language feature debut from Portuguese-born, Scotland-based director Laura Carreira makes a satisfying companion piece to Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You.’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
