A lonely Portuguese migrant working as a picker in a Scottish warehouse struggles to forge connections in an immersive character study that shines light on the precarity of modern employment.

Writer/director Laura Carreira immerses us in the life of Aurora (Joana Santos) in this moving character study. Aurora's workdays are dictated by the bleep of a machine and her evenings are strained by loneliness in shared accommodation as she dreams of securing a better job.

On Falling is an empathetic social realist snapshot that offers a window into the financial precariousness of the gig economy, delivered with a lightness of touch that stresses the importance of everyday connection.

Screening in partnership with Glasgow Film Festival 2025.
