Holy Air (2017)

In the heart of the Holy Land and the Middle East, the ancient city of Nazareth cradles a dwindling minority within a minority. Amidst its intricate tapestry of cultures, Adam, a Christian Arab, navigates his existence. His life intertwines with his strong, beautiful, and progressive wife, Lamia, who passionately champions women's rights through her foundation. Their world teeters on the edge of change when Lamia announces her pregnancy, just as Adam's father succumbs to a debilitating sickness. This dual revelation forces Adam to confront his life's accomplishments, or lack thereof. In the face of his past business failures, Adam is spurred by desperation and inspiration to craft one final venture. The commodity he chooses to market is as ethereal as it is sacred - the very air the Virgin Mary is believed to have breathed during her annunciation. Yet, to monetize such a divine element, Adam must navigate the labyrinth of Nazareth's socio-political landscape. He finds himself seeking unlikely alliances with the Jewish politicians, the Muslim mafia boss, and Catholic church officials that command the city's divided power structure. In a world where religious faith teeters dangerously close to commercial merchandise, Adam gambles on this last-ditch effort. But can the lofty promise of the Holy Air truly be his salvation? Or is it merely another mirage shimmering in the desert of his dreams? As Adam ventures deeper into this spiritual and political minefield, he must grapple with the essence of faith, the value of sacred relics, and his own place within the complex tapestry of his homeland.
