A whimsical animated short about a long-married couple learning to reconnect through playful spatial metaphor and mutual compromise.

After many years of marriage, Walter and Madge have grown apart: He lives on the floor and she lives on the ceiling. When Walter tries to reignite their old romance, their equilibrium comes crashing down, and the couple that can’t agree which way is up must find a way to put their marriage back together.
