A woman in her thrities with brown hair and a ponytail looks off to the left of the camera. She wears a wooly grey jumper with a yellow lanyard around her neck. In the background are boxes and a cage on wheels to carry them in.

About On Falling

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.
