Generally, it’s nice to be light in one’s step. In this visually inventive short, however, it’s causing great existential issues for a man attempting to remain within the laws of gravity. With a flourish for visual storytelling, Hélène Florent crafts moments of levity in this depiction of a character’s struggle to stay grounded.
