Synopsis

Who am I when all the lights go off and the system stops providing direction? This is a meditative portrait of air traffic controller Olga at a time in her life when she is reconnecting with her inner self. Together, we slow down and gaze at the sky, exploring the limits of our freedom, courage and the desire to dream despite the force of gravity.
