This lyrical work is based on the short story "Faelle" by Daniil Charms. Daniil Charms was a Russian writer who was an important member of the avant-garde group Oberiu (Association of Real Art). His absurd, but entertaining, works were ultimately suppressed by Lenin's government. But the works still exist and the director Peter Kaboth as taken one of Charms short stories and made it into this amusing, unreal film.
Nearly completely divorced from the standard constraints of logic, the main action in this film is the pair of people falling gently from the sky. We never see their final impact, or even how they come to be falling in the first place, but we are privy to the reactions, or lack there of, from all the by-standers below.
I believe this beautifully illuminated animated short is available over at www.Filmporium.com Included on the $5 DVD is the poignant "Hasta Los Huesos" and the darkly depressing "Crime and Punishment"
