“Up In The Air”
A story of two people with different lives and different struggles both guided by their ability to look for hope. Tony is from Pakistan and having lived under the radar in Glasgow for 12 years has finally found the courage to apply for asylum, even though it means risking deportation. Anne, born and bred in Clydebank, has faced down multiple personal tragedies but finds an inspiring joy in the airplanes that soar over her home. A film about two unrelated but interrelated people who share a city and a sky.
