BFF24 Falling Into Place
BFF24 Falling Into Place
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
When Kira seeks refuge from her complicated love life in a quiet Scottish coastal town, she meets Ian, a kindred spirit dealing with his own family struggles. As they form a deep connection, their time together is fleeting, and both return to London, unaware they now share the same city. Can they find each other again? And will they grow into the people they need to be before that moment comes?
Aylin Tezel’s tender debut film is a poetic and intimate exploration of longing. The piano score, composed by Ben Lukas Boysen and Jon Hopkins, beautifully captures the reflective and melancholic emotions of the characters, whose identities seem suspended in transition.
Julian Krubasik's camerawork enhances the sense of fragility as Kira and Ian open up to one another. Expansive shots of the rugged, snowy Skye landscape evoke a feeling of liberation, offering a space where Kira and Ian can truly be themselves. This starkly contrasts with the cramped, bustling streets of London, reflecting the characters' exhaustion and sense of confinement. With sensitivity and insight, Falling into Place offers a hopeful perspective on love, relationships and family.
