Upside Down Revolution

One day, a man, condemned to crawl on the ground of a vast desert, finds himself face to face with a peculiar vertical mast, planted in the dirt. He approaches it and tries to cling to it. Rising slowly, he understands that this mast is perhaps his only way to escape the overwhelming gravity of his universe, and to soar to new horizons. But such an ascent is not without danger. Directed by Florent Médina.
