Kainoa Kaeha

Alone in the suffocating quiet of his surrogate sister’s apartment, fifteen-year-old Analu clings desperately to memories of his lost loved one, Iolani, the one person who made him feel seen. The night becomes a battleground of haunting flashbacks and quiet suffering, as Analu teeters between holding on and letting go. Malu, his surrogate sister, fights to reach the part of him still holding on. Falling is a raw, intimate journey through trauma, where the weight of the past threatens to eclipse the connections that remain.
