Falling Angels is the October selection in the acclaimed Film Movement Series. It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. They are tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy. And the Field house is a place where their Moms semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. As the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn.
