April works in a scrap yard. Daphany waits for customers in a fast food window. Lee spends the day waiting for school to be over. But the local circus school offers a departure from daily tedium. Combining elements of fiction and documentary, EN L'AIR is a portrait of a place that has endured an economic crisis for decades. The film features real people acting out scenes from everyday life and examines the force they are capable of in a deindustrialized world. EN L'AIR is shot in the filmmaker’s hometown – Portsmouth, Ohio – with the collaboration of the Cirque D’Art circus school.
