Une histoire vertébrale is a French short animated film directed by Jérémy Clapin in 2004.
action
A short man with a spinal cord injury who ensures that he can only look down lives alone in a high-rise building. His dog keeps him company, but the man longs for a woman who suits him. In a movie commercial, he sees a man tilting a woman backwards to kiss her. But even the reenactment of the scene with a cardboard woman fails.
Only one floor below the man lives a tall woman whose spinal damage means that she can only look up. Men and women miss each other constantly in everyday life because of their size and the directions they are facing. The woman lives with her new bird, which occasionally gets lost in the man's apartment and is caught by the man and released back into freedom through the window. Man and woman first see each other through the bird when they look out of their windows, and it is also the bird that makes both of them aware of each other in the stairwell. The man and woman find that they fit together like a piece of a puzzle, standing on different steps of the stairs, and they kiss.
