An isolated village in the Lithuanian countryside. Seated in her house, an elderly woman recites an old folk story. Then she climbs up the tall ladder that takes her to the rooftop of the church.
Cinematography
Every frame could hang in a gallery. Stonys shoots like a painter.
Sound
Wind, breath, and distant bells. The score is Lithuania itself.
Director
Audrius Stonys
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stonys filmed during Lithuania's post-Soviet identity crisis; the church ladder becomes a metaphor for reclaiming spiritual heritage after decades of enforced atheism.
The 'anti-gravity' in the title refers not to visual effects but to the Lithuanian word for 'lightness of spirit'—a concept untranslatable in the original festival marketing.
