A man realises he doesn’t remember what number comes after six. Inspired by the work of the Russian avant garde author Daniil Kharms, Fälle is an ode to the absurd, a tale in which logic and the principle of cause and effect are sharply mocked. In the surrealist adventures of our hero, it is not difficult to find a reflection of the inane ferocity of contemporary society, in which logic often gives way to nourish power.
