AIR

Screen Shot 2015-04-30 at 3.08.38 PM A young girl in Southern India grows up as a slave in a sweatshop, where she creates an alternate world for herself and her friends as their only means of escape from the daily abuse they’re forced to suffer. Through the lens of magical realism, AIR is an important and timely take on modern slavery.

Set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fall-out renders the atmosphere unbreathable, the story follows two custodial workers who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth.
