Chinese Mainland Premiere
Els is in her late-forties, divorced and in love again. For her, falling in love was not easy: it meant that she had to accept, she has a life even if her twenty-year-old daughter wants to die and has already asked for psychiatric euthanasia which her mother can do nothing about. In the storm of her own emotions, mixed with guilt, anger, fear and hope, love is what teaches Els to try stepping forward even if it seems impossible. She meets with her daughter one per week, continuously trying to make a distance between herself and her daughter on the purpose of continuing her own life as an independent human being and a woman in love. While she is waiting for the decision about the euthanasia from her daughter's psychiatric team and tries to accept her will, she still hopes that her daughter will change her mind. Falling is a lyrical, found footage-based testimony from a mother who faces not only the taboos surrounding motherhood, but also the most difficult situation in her life.
埃尔斯(Els)年近五十,离异后又重新坠入爱河。对她来说,坠入爱河并不容易:这意味着她不得不接受现实,即使她二十岁的女儿想要死去,并已要求精神安乐死,而她的母亲对此无能为力,她仍然有自己的生活。在她自己夹杂着内疚、愤怒、恐惧和希望的情绪风暴中,爱教会了埃尔斯努力向前迈进,即使这似乎是不可能的。她每周见一次女儿,不断试图与女儿保持距离,目的是让她作为一个独立的人和一个恋爱中的女人继续自己的生活。在等待女儿的精神治疗团队关于安乐死的决定并试图接受女儿意愿的同时,她仍然希望女儿能改变主意。《坠落》是一部抒情的、基于拾得影像的、来自一位母亲的证词,她不仅要面对围绕母职的禁忌,还要面对她一生中最艰难的处境。
