Till we fall

"Till we fall" is a modern fairy-tale for grown-ups. In the unusual story the magic is weaved inside the real world so tenderly that it becomes natural and explainable - the role models of the author were Erin Morgenstern, Eowyn Ivey, Ali Shaw and Audrey Niffenegger.


Sophie is out for a walk in Hamburg's Municipal Park with James, her Labrador Retriever. She encounters Oliver, a young man sitting on a tree stump crying bitterly. He seems to be desperate. When she asks him what's wrong, he claims to be the Fall, and that he is frantic because he has lost the ability to usher in the season and all the changes that come with it.
It is already October. The leaves should have started to fall long ago. If Oliver won't succeed to usher in the necessary changes, all of nature might be destroyed.
Sophie decides to help the stranger. Together they look for a way in which Oliver can regain his power. Within a short time, Sophie falls in love with him. During their search, they discover not only the unbelievable about seasons, but also their connection to all human feelings. Sophie doesn't give up hope that in the end, Oliver may still save the threatened world of plants.
