What if the laws of physics as we understand them suddenly ceased to apply? In this muted but whimsical tale a man and his two gold fish prepare for the end of the world. Meta Pre Ptolemy is the Noah's ark of gravity. We discover that sometimes survival can be a bittersweet existence.

Meta Pre Ptolemy was made for Hothouse 3, the NFB’s program for emerging filmmakers, whose central theme was “Air & Home”.

Directed by Rachel Peters - 2006 | 2 min
