Turkish-German writer/director Aylin Tezel makes her feature debut with
Falling Into Place, in which she also makes her English language acting debut. The film
sees Tezel and Chris Fulton play two people who forge a connection
on the Isle of Skye. Returning to London, they must both confront their
pasts if they're to successfully reconnect.
Alexandra Dowling, Olwen Fouéré, Michael Carter, Samuel Anderson,
Layo-Christina Akinlude
and Rory Fleck Byrne also star.
"Falling into Place is an ode to love: its magic, its
memorability, its pain, and its joy," says Tezel. "It takes courage to grow up and grow out of different versions of
yourself - at any age. For me, this story is not just a love story between
two people, it is also a reminder that life is a series of choices.
Decisions that we make ourselves, or that are made for us, and that change
us. I would like the film to invite viewers to ask themselves personal
questions: Do I choose to spend my time doing things I like with people I
love? Am I brave enough to look at myself?"
Falling Into Place is in UK cinemas from June 6th.

The official synopsis reads:
Kira and Ian – both in their mid-30s – meet on a winter weekend on the Isle of Skye. Both are on the run – from their past as well as from the reality of their current lives. The 36 hours they spend together are characterized by fun and lightness. A deep, almost magical connection develops between the two strangers. Everything seems possible. But fate tears them apart again. They both return to London, unaware that they live in the same city. Often only a few minutes, meters and coincidences apart, Kira and Ian move through the pulsating city; they never meet. They first have to face their demons before they are ready to really find each other.
