'Upside Down'

THE 3D sci-fi romantic thriller by Juan Diego Solanas is about two lovers whose worlds prevent them from being together.

The film starts with Adam telling the story of his planet, unique from other planets as it is the only one that has dual gravity. Two planets live next to one another.

The two worlds are separated. While Up is rich and prosperous, Down is poor.

Up buys cheap oil from Down and sells electricity back to Down at much higher prices. Going Up is strictly forbidden and the only connection between the worlds is through the company "TransWorld."

Adam lives in an orphanage Down Below as he lost his parents in an oil refinery explosion. The only living relative he has is his great-aunt. As a child, Adam secretly climbs a mountain that gets very close to the Up world. There he meets Eden, a girl in Up. They later become friends as teenagers and then are in a romantic relationship.

Ten years later, Adam is working on creating anti-gravity using his great-aunt's recipe. The recipe allows matter to feel both gravitational fields at once. Adam is developing it as a cosmetic product for face-lifts. Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Jim Sturgess and Timothy Spall
