The film opens with images of the Ariane 5 launch base in the jungle of French Guyana. Then a weightless frog in space, tropical plants mixed with technological models of the Star City in Moscow, an iguana in the role of Donna Haraway's cyborg and the incredible archival images of space agencies around the world. "No Gravity" is a film between science and fiction, seen from a queer, lesbian and feminist point of view.

A look into the many lives of Christa Päffgen, otherwise known as Nico; from cutie German mädchen to the first of the supermodels, to glamorous diva of the Velvet Underground, to cult item, junkie and hag. Many faces for the same woman, whom, you realize, just couldn't bring herself to care enough to live.
Director
The film is about performative strategies to undermine the rigid gender norms in Afghan society: at the level of film productions, in political work and in everyday life. The protagonists of PASSING THE RAINBOW include a teacher who is also an actress, a police officer who works part-time as an action film director, an activist from the RAWA organization, which advocates the radical separation of state and religion, a girl theater group in Kabul and Malek_a, who lives as a boy and thus earns a living for their family.
