The Falling
An English girls' school, late autumn. A single blackbird call. Adolescent friendships bloom, charged with unspoken desires. Then, a shocking death triggers a wave of mass hysteria, a strange fainting epidemic that confounds the faculty. Morley's film recalls Weir's *Picnic at Hanging Rock*, but with a distinctly feminist unease.
