Storyline

What would be the shortest route between Entre Rios in Argentina and the Chinese metropolis Shanghai? Simply a straight line through the center of the earth, since the two places are antipodes: they are located diametrically opposite to each other on the earth's surface. During his visits to four such antipodal pairs, the award-winning documentary filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky captured images that turn our view of the world upside down.

You emerge wondering what (and who) might lie beneath your own feet.

Unlike, say, similar globetrotting, image-led works like Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka, Kossakovsky's film is never preachy, allowing the visuals to percolate.

An upside-down gaze from a moving car’s rear window of China in motion looks like a Fifth Element-lavish future world found right here and now.

Kossakovsky' humanist sensibilities and informal, lyrical approach allows the audience to deduce their own conclusions.
