Story
A poetic story of a man trying to escape a world that has become alien to him. After spending four years in prison, Rafik only has one plan: to take his son beyond the mountains and show him that he can fly. Because Rafik’s ex-wife and family find the idea absurd, he abducts his son from school and flees with him through the mountains – ever closer to that magical place where he intends to leave gravity behind him.
