With this film Audrius Stonys continues his revelation of the marginal experiences of a human-being. If in The Earth of the Blind he invoked sound and image in order “to see the unseeable”, than Antigravitation breaks the laws of gravity, and granting the camera with divine power to observe from above, it sweeps you into the heavens. “How does the world look like from such empyrean? What holds a man between the earth and the sky? How does the world look like from the roofs of churches?” – these questions were the starting point.
