Description

A city of millions. Five strangers. One moment that changes everything. When a woman falls to her death from a building in New York City, five bystanders — each lost in the chaos of their own lives — are drawn together in the aftermath. A reclusive writer, a struggling actress, a grieving widow, a young delivery worker, and an overworked mother — none of them knew her, yet they can’t shake the image of her fall. As they search for meaning in the inexplicable, their lives begin to intertwine in ways they never expected. HOW IT FEELS TO FALL FROM THE SKY asks: how do you move on when you’ve witnessed the unthinkable? And can community spring from the depths of tragedy? A darkly comic and life-affirming exploration of grief, connection, and the fragile ties that bind us to one another.
