The Weight of Sight is a playful and very personal essay where director Truls Krane Meby, through a massive archive of his own material - anything from DV-tapes to 35mm - explores the last 20 years of digital development - how it’s influenced the images we make, and our bodies. What kind of images do we get of the world now that everyone is a photographer, and what does it do with how we unfold our identities? How has the internet both captured and freed us? And will Truls even dare to show this film?

When Sofia returns to her earthquake-ruined hometown, she and her niece uncover a forgotten tale of a village where gravity was once switched off - and as the line between reality and fantasy fades, mysterious events subtly transform life in the silent town.
