Free Falling

Marisol’s life seems perfect, mirroring the precision of her technique. Once a national rhythmic gymnast, she is now a demanding coach, expecting nothing less than perfection from Ukrainian newcomer Angelica as the World Championship approaches. Methodical, controlling, and authoritarian, Marisol disregards feelings and demands the same perfection from her husband, Octavio, only to discover he’s having affair. Laura Jou’s second feature film is emotionally tense and complex. It not only delves into pain and frustration, but also the courage of a woman confronting life’s challenges, exploring her resilience against societal expectations of success. The film maintains a thrilling pace that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is produced by the acclaimed Juan Antonio Bayona.
