A delicate balancing act of humor and tragedy, FALLING ANGELS is a richly woven character-study of family dynamic and missed opportunity. Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby sit their fragile mother Mary, as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change. The girls’ quest for independence is compounded by their love for their fragile bird of a mother and their simmering mistrust of their father, while all are oblivious to the real effect of the family secret and to the signs of Mary’s deterioration. Still, the Field sisters manage their experiments in living outside the home with some surprising results.
