Gravitacija stands for “Gravity”.
This visual Odyssey is set in the same universe as our video for “New You”: https://youtu.be/06GEytsEU4k?si=KWo3czR-JV2M55sC
Both in “New You” and “Gravity” events are triggered by the malfunction of the space-time flight simulator built in the near future inside the giant international research facility - EATF (Experimental Academy of Transcosmic Events).
When the experiment goes wrong the mind of the space crew captain regresses into a state of horrible hallucinations. That's the story told in “New You”.
“Gravity” however presets a different rendition of the very same moment told through the altered mind of another crew member - the ship’s engineer.
Her consciousness is exposed to the same levels of neuro-sensory overdrive during the simulation, but shows higher resilience and embarks on a peaceful transcendent journey, where paranormal activity and romantic memories intertwine, electricity and nature converge, radio waves and telepathic powers reverberate, flocking birds and falling water become resounding instruments in the grand orchestra of cosmic harmony.
Over the course of her trip our heroine copes with separation and finds peace in a deep recess of her inner sanctum, where electricity dies and gets born again.
She was going to embark on a space mission and save the humanity, but the Universe healed her broken heart instead..
