Humankind, envious of birds’ freedom in the sky, tries the most absurd ways to defy gravity. This animation by Terry Gilliam, rather than showcasing just how comical and frustrating a pursuit of flight can become, focuses directly on chaos. The floundering of characters who leap from cliffs in pursuit of their dream of flight becomes an absurd tale at the intersection of humor and the art of animation. This short film brings to the big screen experiments that push the boundaries of the human mind.
