Falling Angels (2003): Cast & Plot

Set in the first days of 1970 in an Ontario suburb, the Field family’s fragile peace is shattered by the death of Mary Field, Miranda Richardson. The story unfolds through looping timelines and flashbacks that span a decade, opening and closing with the water of Niagara Falls while the main action concentrates on the fall and winter of 1969 and the funeral that follows. A long-buried tragedy—the death of their first-born, three-month-old Jimmy—casts a spectral shadow over the house, its full truth never spoken aloud and hinted at only by a single newspaper clipping Mary keeps in her purse, later discovered by the adolescent daughters who sift through memories to understand what happened.
