Faba has a story, multiple stories orbiting around a Flaneur, but not a plot; the 45 pages of the story are meant to resemble the 45 rpm single vinyl records of the past. Faba consists of literary fragments and detachments with a common underlying music theme, that of love and insurrection; of fragments and detachments from a big bang that created and still creates new surrealist realities.

But it was more than that - it was the Flaneur’s desire for a new Eden, a new heaven and a new earth, that exploded; the same desire that led him to take to the streets during the December 2008 uprising, where, all around him, the cocktails liubov were replaced by cocktails molotov.
