Falling

Channel 4 commissions new “achingly romantic drama” from Jack Thorne

Falling will tell the story of two deeply religious characters, Anna and David. A devoted nun who has spent most of her adult life in a convent, Anna never expected to fall in love. And neither did David, a catholic priest committed to his work in the church and his Bristol community.

But when they do, both experience a crisis of faith as they try to reconcile their love with their relationship with God.
