ficha de la película], currently in the post-production phase, tells the story of 15-year-old Magnea and her eye-opening encounter with Stella. Stella's no-holds-barred lifestyle drags them both into a world of drugs, which brings serious consequences for each of them, and their relationship. Twelve years later, their paths cross again, and a reckoning between them becomes unavoidable.

The young Magnea is portrayed by actress Elín Sif Halldórsdóttir, who previously appeared in several episodes of Zophoníasson's 2015 TV crime-drama Case. Co-protagonist Eyrún Björk Jakobsdóttir, who plays the role of Stella, is making her acting debut.

The director and songwriter Birgir Örn Steinarsson, who previously collaborated on the script for Life in a Fishbowl, are behind Let Me Fall's script.
