| Summary: | Adam and Lamia are a Christian Arab couple living in Nazareth - members of a vanishing minority in the Holy Land. When Lamia gets pregnant, Adam decides it's time to make it big and provide for his family by entering the biggest local business - religion. He begins to sell "holy air" gathered from the spot where the Virgin Mary received the annunciation. Things go well until the local Catholic bishop, Jewish politicians, and Muslim mafia all show up wanting their cut of the profits. In a politically unstable world where religion is just another merchandise, can the holy air be Adam's salvation or is it just an illusion? |
