The exhilarating rush of flirtation runs through the beginning of Alyin Tezel’s romantic drama but it’s the slowburn of connection that becomes the focus as they/won’t they tale unfolds. Initially the wintry melancholy of Skye matches the mood of Kira (who is also played by Tezel). She’s supposed to be on the island as part of a loved-up getaway but after splitting up with her boyfriend Aidan (Rory Fleck Byrne) it has become a journey into solitude.

Munich-based sales agency Global Screen has acquired romantic drama “Falling Into Place” for worldwide theatrical distribution. The English-language film is written and directed by Aylin Tezel, one of Germany’s leading young actors, and stars Tezel (“7500”) and Chris Fulton (“Bridgerton”).
The directorial debut is set in Scotland on the Isle of Skye and in London. It is an honest and poetic portrait of today’s 30-somethings caught between the fear of commitment and the desire for self-improvement.

Kira and Ian, two 30-somethings, meet all too briefly over a winter weekend on the Isle of Skye and form a sudden, deep, and surprising bond. Back in London, they try to move on with their separate lives – but both have to stop running from themselves...
