THE FALL

When Angela, founder of a once-iconic social club, is placed in aged care after a fall, she refuses to go quietly. As her sense of self begins to fracture, she becomes convinced her club is changing without her. Haunted by her younger self, past and present collide in a volatile world of memory, rebellion and defiance.

Surreal, darkly comic and unflinching, THE FALL interrogates ageing, autonomy and identity, asking: who gets to decide when a life is no longer one’s own?
