Synopsis
A view of an average day through tilted spectacles, where the forces of gravity conspire to make the easiest task the hardest thing in the world. From where he is standing she is making life difficult for him and from her perspective he couldn't be more useless. Together they need to get the job done even though they can't see eye to eye because he is topsy-turvy and she is slightly off balance. Climbing the walls, tripping over themselves, off centred and upside down, their divertingly skewed relationship to perspective makes for a work that re-invents traditional circus skills for dance film.
