Beschreibung

In a country recovering from a brutal and divisive civil war a young boy Jamie is knocked off his bike and dies in a city street. His father agrees to allow one of Jamie's lungs to be removed and flown over the border for a transplant.

As the night unfolds and the plane travels across the war-ravaged country we see the drama from three different perspectives: the father grieving for the son he perhaps never knew well enough; the lung's recipient an old man fighting for breath; and in the turbulent sky between them the young pilot who is closest to Jamie - or at least to his breath his spirit his voice.
