Synopsis

Falling into Flight untangles a daughter's complicated relationship with immigrant parents ? her angry Russian mother and quiet Finnish father ? as she grapples with the mysteries of her own body and self during the long years of growing up. And it offers insight into a life experienced through the arts: first as a young enthusiastic dancer, then as a thoughtful ? and equally enthusiastic ? dance critic.
