The Falling (2014)

Intense and troubled Lydia (Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones) and charismatic Abbie are best friends experiencing a sexual awakening at their strict English girls’ school.

Following a tragedy, a mysterious fainting epidemic breaks out, and as Lydia’s symptoms worsen, she rallies against the school’s authorities to uncover the underlying cause of the outbreak.
