Jumping from High Places

To be honest, it was only after watching the entire movie that I truly understood the meaning of the film's title, 'Jumping from High Places.' Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I grasped that, as someone who has gone through adolescence, entered the workforce, and interacted with all sorts of people, the space between the unknown and vulnerability can often be seen as being distant or 'high and mighty' when viewed from an outsider's perspective. That's what 'High Places' means to me. And 'Jumping' represents the director's message, conveyed through Federica Torchetti's various life experiences, that it's all about 'commitment.' Regardless of regrets or missed opportunities, true feelings and personal aspirations can only be realized through full commitment. (Especially with that handsome actor Cristiano in the latter part of the movie.) I would recommend this indie film to every teenager out there.
