A nameless man no longer manages to count further than six. A sequence of tragic-comic moments and strange encounters takes its course. Is the world slipping away from him? Loosely adapted from the famous work of the avant-garde poet Daniil Kharms (1905-1942), „Incidences“ tells of the search for solidarity in a strictly regulated world. The film translates Kharms' absurd poetry into contemporary, ambiguous images. Behind the humor lies despair over the destruction of the human condition that Kharms himself experienced in the Soviet Union.
