Storyline

Aggregate anti-characters and the Canadian sound poet bill bissett hang breathlessly over poetic history to escape 2500 years of tradition, blood thirsty social mobs, censorship and the guilt of gravity. The ancient myth of Icarus, the Old Comedy of Aristophanes, the unhappy execution of Socrates, and the science of flight provide a thin atmosphere and suffocating hot sunshine. This art house narrative is hi-jacked for the viewer by a combination of souvenir go-pro summer vacation footage salvaged from a low flying sight-seeing helicopter, an assortment of low flying flight school Cessnas, anti-plot absurdist debates, the French Revolution, clouds that outburst, informal inquisitions that take notes, crudely animated space craft, lazy pigeons and scenery soaring around on sound effects.
