Anton, a grown-up prodigy composer who couldn’t handle his obsession with music, returns to Ukraine after a long drug and alcohol addiction treatment. Katia, an ordinary girl living in the outskirts of Kiev, is planning to go to Berlin with her boyfriend, a German photographer. An unexpected encounter between Katia and Anton changes everything... Falling is a story about the post-revolutionary generation of young Ukrainians looking for their place in modern Ukraine. It follows two displaced people who cross paths at a crucial moment of their existence and experience a few days of happiness together. The story is set exactly one year after Maidan and enacts the feelings of a generation that has lost some of its own identity. The only way to find oneself in the new reality is to be right here and right now.
