Det tyske drama 'Free Fall' handler om Marc, hvis liv kører på skinner. Han har en lovende karriere som politibetjent foran sig, og konen venter deres første barn. Men alt ændrer sig, da Marc møder politiaspiranten Kay under et uddannelsesforløb. De to mænd udvikler følelser for hinanden, og pludseligt befinder Marc sig i frit fald. En eksistentiel krise er under opløb, og det ellers så uproblematiske liv erstattes af tvivl, utroskab og dilemmaet mellem den trygge familie og den spirende forelskelse. Marc må indse, at han ikke kan gøre alle, han elsker, lykkelige. ’Free Fall’ er en film om uventet kærlighed, om at acceptere sin seksualitet og om den lunefulde lykke. Dramaet, der er blevet kaldt Tysklands svar på ’Brokeback Mountain’ (2005), er instrueret af Stephan Lacant.
