“Find Me Falling” Dominates Netflix Global Top 10 Films

In a significant milestone for the Cypriot film industry, “Find Me Falling,” produced in Cyprus and featuring Harry Connick Jr., has ascended to the pinnacle of Netflix’s Global Top 10 list for most-watched films. The film, directed and written by Cypriot filmmaker Stelana Kliris, achieved 14.4 million views within just five days of its release on 19 July 2024. It also garnered an impressive 22.5 million hours viewed, substantially outperforming the second most-watched film, “Trolls Band Together,” which recorded 15.8 million hours.

This success marks a historic first for a Cypriot film on the global streaming platform. “Find Me Falling” weaves a compelling narrative around John Allman, an ageing rock star portrayed by Connick Jr., who retreats to Cyprus to revive his musical inspiration. The film’s rich storyline, described by Kliris as a “vacation” experience, delves into themes of love, both romantic and familial, and the sacrifices made for passion and loved ones. Connick Jr.’s character navigates the idyllic yet tumultuous island life, facing complex personal and professional challenges.

The film’s success underscores the growing influence of Cypriot cinema on the global stage, highlighting the country’s potential as a hub for international film production. Kliris’s achievement with “Find Me Falling” not only showcases local talent but also paves the way for future Cypriot productions to gain international acclaim.

Forbes readers, especially those in the entertainment and film production sectors, should note the strategic elements contributing to the film’s success. The collaboration with an internationally renowned actor, the compelling narrative set in an exotic locale, and the film’s high production values have resonated with global audiences. This serves as a case study for leveraging local cultural assets and talent to achieve worldwide recognition.

The film’s triumph on Netflix exemplifies how strategic storytelling, coupled with robust production and marketing efforts, can elevate regional cinema to global prominence. As “Find Me Falling” continues to captivate audiences, it stands as a testament to the potential of Cypriot filmmaking in the competitive entertainment landscape. This landmark achievement signals a promising future for Cyprus in the international film industry, inspiring local filmmakers to aim for global success.

EU Farm Output Prices Decline For The First Time In Nine Months

EU Market Adjustments Signal New Price Trends

Agricultural output prices across the European Union declined in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a shift after several quarters of increases. Data from Eurostat shows that farm gate prices fell by 1.9% compared with the same period in 2024.

Crisis of Declining Prices In Select Markets

Cyprus recorded one of the more notable decreases in agricultural input costs among EU member states, with prices falling by 2.6% compared with Q4 2024. The reduction eased cost pressures for the local agricultural sector following periods of higher prices earlier in 2025. Across the EU, prices for goods and services consumed in agriculture remained relatively stable. Non-investment inputs such as energy, fertilisers and feedingstuffs showed limited overall changes during the quarter.

Country-Specific Divergence In Price Movements

Eurostat data highlights considerable variation across member states. Fifteen EU countries recorded declines in agricultural output prices. Belgium registered the largest decrease at 12.9%, followed by Lithuania (8.2%) and Germany (6.0%). At the same time, twelve countries reported increases in output prices. Ireland recorded the strongest rise at 6.8%, followed by Slovenia (5.6%) and Malta (4.2%).

Stability In Agricultural Inputs Amid Commodity Shifts

Agricultural input prices also showed mixed developments. Eleven member states recorded declines, including Cyprus (2.6%), Belgium (2.1%) and Sweden (2.0%). Other countries experienced moderate increases, including Lithuania (4.2%), Ireland (3.3%) and Romania (2.5%). Among major agricultural commodities, milk prices declined by 4.1% while cereal prices fell by 8.9% across the EU. In contrast, fertilisers and soil improvers increased by 7.9%, reflecting continued volatility in input markets.

Outlook For EU Agriculture

The latest Eurostat data points to uneven price developments across the EU agricultural sector. While input prices remained broadly stable in many markets, movements in output prices varied significantly between member states. These trends highlight the need for farmers and policymakers to adapt to shifting commodity prices and changing cost structures across the European agricultural market.
