Fallen Art presents the story of General A, a self-proclaimed artist. His art, however, consists of a deranged method of stop motion photography, where the individual frames of the movie are created by photographs made by Dr. Johann Friedrich, depicting the bоdies of deаd soldiers, pushed down by Sergeant Al from a giant springboard onto a slab of concrete.

L'intrigue du film se déroule en 1916. Adama est un adolescent qui a grandi dans un village isolé en Afrique de l'Ouest avec son frère aîné Samba, qu'il admire et adore. En bordure du village s'élèvent des falaises au-delà desquelles s'étend un désert parcouru de vents de sable violents : le Monde des Souffles, royaume des Nassaras, où les anciens du village interdisent d'aller. Le jour du rite de passage à l'âge adulte approche pour Adama et Samba. Mais la nuit venue, Adama surprend Samba dans la case familiale, en train de se préparer à partir. Samba va s'engager dans l'armée, car c'est le seul moyen d'aider financièrement leurs parents en temps de récolte maigre. Le lendemain, tout le monde croit Samba perdu à jamais et les anciens du village défendent à quiconque de partir à sa recherche. Malgré cela, Adama résout de tenter de retrouver son frère. Il s'enfuit à son tour en empruntant les galeries qui traversent les falaises et passe à côté de la parure de bois et de poil du génie initiateur. C'est le début d'un long voyage qui le mène bien plus loin que prévu, jusqu'aux champs de bataille de la Première Guerre mondiale en France.

James and Hilda Bloggs are a retired couple living in a tidy isolated cottage in rural Sussex in southeast England. James frequently travels to London to read the newspapers and keep abreast of the deteriorating international situation; while frequently misunderstanding some specifics, he is fully aware of the growing risk of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. James is horrified at a radio news report stating that a war may be only three days away, and sets about preparing for the worst as instructed by his government-issued Protect and Survive pamphlets. As Hilda continues her daily routine, and their son Ron dismisses such preparations as pointless (referencing the song "We'll All Go Together When We Go" by Tom Lehrer), James builds a lean-to shelter inside their home (which he consistently calls the "inner core or refuge" per the pamphets) and prepares a stock of supplies. He also follows through seemingly strange instructions such as painting his windows with white paint and readying sacks to lie down in when a nuclear strike hits. Despite James' concerns, he and Hilda are confident they can survive the war, as they did World War II in their childhoods, and that a Soviet defeat will ensue.

Private Snafu has learned a secret, but the enemy is listening and he'd better zipper his lip. However, Snafu - little by little - lets his secret slip (by telling the audience, calling his mom, and drunkenly relaying it to a bar girl who works as a Nazi spy): His ship is about to set sail for Africa at 4:30. The information is picked up by spies and quickly relayed to Adolf Hitler, who orders the Nazis to attack the American fleet - which they do.
