On Falling spotlights the experience of Aurora, who works 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.

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.

Having garnered universal praise on the film festival circuit – including winning Best Director at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2024 – this empathetic, though-provoking marvel is a stunning debut for director Laura Carrierra, proudly produced by Sixteen Films (The Old Oak, Sorry We Missed You).
