An animated Shortfilm by Stefanos Pletsis

/ Duration 12’
/ No Dialogue

“Broken doesn’t mean useless.”

The Fall tells the story of a boy raised by a father who repairs everything, a missing wheel replaced with a bottle cap, a broken antenna reshaped by hand, a way of seeing the world where nothing is disposable.

Years later, alone on a failing space station, the same boy, now an astronaut is surrounded by systems that demand replacement. Screens flash instructions. Components fail. The solution is always the same: REPLACE.

But he doesn’t.

The film unfolds across two timelines, past and present gradually revealing how a philosophy learned in childhood becomes the only thing keeping him alive in space.

The Fall is a quiet story about resilience, inheritance, and the human instinct to repair not just objects, but ourselves.
