Aylin Tezel achieves great things as writer, director and lead in modest romance Falling Into Place, a film that finds two artists falling for each other at the wrong time in their lives. Ian (Chris Fulton) has a girlfriend he’s wanting to break up with, while Kira (Tezel) is in a spiral following a recent breakup with Aidan (Rory Fleck Byrne).
The two connect one drunk evening in Skye and spend the next 24 hours together before their blistering connection is rudely broken by having to return to their own little worlds. The worlds that they return to are in London, as the two flit around each other, avoiding each other, but they find that the lasting impression they made on each other sets them on a path to reunion. One that can only occur after the two have found the necessary closure for their love to exist and thrive.
The film was a co-production from both German and Scottish creative councils, which meant that Falling Into Place had to have premiered in Germany before Scotland. Three months after that premiere, the German actress/director Tezel brings Falling Into Place to Glasgow Film Festival, alongside Scottish actor Chris Fulton, for its UK Premiere. We interview the talented director and star here.
