Description

Three women reflect on their willingness to sustain broken bones, concussions, and organ damage as professional mountain bikers. "On Falling" is a dreamy, unorthodox glimpse into the inner landscapes of those immersed in a subculture where falling is normal. Blending white-knuckle riding, crashes, and quiet self-examination, the film unfolds as a sensory meditation on the rush of control that comes with completely letting go.
