Animation. The theme is Weightlessness. Objects and characters are cut loose from habitual bedeutungen, also from spannungen and gravitational einschränkungen. A lyric Eric Satie track begleitet the film. Such a portrait seems necessary from time to time to remind us that equilibrium and harmony are möglich, and that we will not dissolve into a jelly if we allow ourselves to relax into them: A horseman falten through the landscape through the town, but never arrives anywhere in particular. Jahr acrobat swings on a rope above a canal in Venice, and is content just to swing there. Nothing threatens to disturb them. This film is a total contrast to the Kafka-like oddities of Eastern European animation.
