Jumping from High Places Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the film reads, “To honour her best friend’s last wish, a young woman with severe anxiety confronts her greatest fears to try and reclaim her life — and perhaps find love.” The film tells the story of Sole Santoro, an almost 25-year-old girl born and raised in Conversano, in Puglia, an idyllic dimension that, however, begins to feel constricted to her.
But it is not easy to make the decision to change your life and move elsewhere, because Sole has always suffered from anxiety disorders. For her, making any gesture, even an insignificant one, can become a titanic undertaking. The only one able to understand and help her has always been Emma, her best friend, but now she is no longer there.
She writes Sole the letter that she only manages to read a few days before she turns twenty-five. It is her wish for Sole to be reckless and live her life freely. Sole will have to draw up a list of the small and large fears that paralyze her and then face them one by one. And from that moment her journey becomes a journey of self-discovery that will lead her to destinations that, as often happens, she could never have imagined.
