Break My Fall: Redux
Four young friends find themselves at a critical juncture in their lives, in this perceptive drama about the lives of young Londoners, presented here in its definitive 2023 director's cut.
Director: Kanchi Wichmann
Overview
Four young friends find themselves at a critical juncture in their lives; fatigued with dead-end jobs, drifting relationships and mindless hedonism. Girlfriends Liza and Sally are drifting apart, uncertain of their next move. Their gay friends Jamie and Vin are equally discontent, fed up with dead-end jobs and drug-infested dramas. Everything comes to a head during an explosive emotional meltdown at an illegal rave - and things will never be the same again.
Kanchi Wichmann’s low-budget urban drama is a refreshing, perceptive and honest look at the lives of young Londoners, presented here in its definitive 2023 director's cut.
Contains strong language, once very strong, sex and hard drug use
