The Falling City

Main Ideas

• The city as a living organism, governed by its own internal laws and rhythms, where the destinies of people intertwine with the fate of the very space they inhabit.
• An exploration of isolation and alienation, as a person becomes a prisoner not only of walls but also of their own illusions, fears, and prejudices.
• The inevitability of change: the city, as a symbol of civilization, cannot withstand time and internal decay, and its fall becomes a metaphor for both loss and renewal.
• The question of power and control—who truly governs the city and its inhabitants, and is it possible to preserve freedom under total surveillance and manipulation.
• The motif of searching for meaning and faith in a collapsing world, where each character must choose between submission and struggle, between the past and the future.
