Channel 4 (UK) - 6 x 60'

Keeley Hawes (Miss Austen, Bodyguard) stars as Anna, a devoted nun, and Paapa Essiedu (Harry Potter, Black Mirror, The Lazarus Project) as David, a Catholic priest, in BAFTA and Emmy award-winning writer Jack Thorne’s first ever love story, directed by BAFTA winning Peter Hoar (It’s a Sin, Umbrella Academy). Both are deeply committed to their work in the church and their communities. Neither expected to fall in love. But when they do, both are forced to wrestle with what it means for them, their vows, and their relationship with God.

Falling is a witty, moving, contemporary romantic drama that is as honest as it is full of heart.
