Due to the pandemic, the falla could not be burned in its original year. The narrative of the story continued with an unexpected twist: in the early hours of the ‘Cremà’, the van disappeared. In order to comply with the ritual, the children's falla and wood from the fallero club's marquee were brought together to create a new monument that was burned in its place, thus restarting the cycle of the fallas.
The story of the falla continued with a second season: the stolen van was finally found. The new challenge was how to legally recover the 52 million euros that had been lost. The solution came when the falla won the Euromillions with the same money that had vanished. With the van recovered and the money in its possession, the mystery had come to an end and the falla could be planted again.
For the 2021 Fallas, the van reappeared with new security measures to protect it from a second theft, such as surveillance cameras, snipers, Prousegur vests for the falleros, and anti-ramming beacons. On the other hand, the children's falla showed two happy children with a toy truck made from a used bleach bottle, conveying the message that true happiness does not require great wealth.
Finally, the two-year-old falla could be burned. This creative storytelling had a huge impact on social media and in the press, demonstrating that fallas are a language with enormous potential for creativity and innovation. Not burning it the first year also highlighted its ecological potential, as it meant that two fallas did not have to be built, thereby reducing pollution. The project was recognised with the Ingenuity and Grace Award for Large Fallas 2021 at the Valencian Community Designers Association (ADCV) awards for its positive impact, and also with the Aporta Award at the ADG-FAD Laus Awards.
