“…a winningly satiric comedy that’s as tenderhearted as it is sly” Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

When Adam hears that his wife Lamia is pregnant and his father falls very ill, he evaluates his life and realizes that he hasn’t achieved much. Despite all his failed business ideas, he makes one last attempt to try to make it big. And what’s better to sell than the very air that the Virgin Mary breathed during her annunciation in the Holy Land? And to time it during a planned Papal visit with all the religious tourists flocking to the city? But, as one priest tells Adam during confession, he needs allies from the three cultures active in Nazareth; the Jewish politicians, the Muslim mafia, and the Catholic Church officials.
In a politically unstable world where religion is just merchandise, can Holy Air become Adam’s salvation?

WELCOME TO SERET AMSTERDAM,
AMSTELVEEN, MAASTRICHT AND ROTTERDAM

SERET Amsterdam 2018 is coming this November, and the founders of the Israeli Film & TV Festival, Odelia Haroush, Anat Koren and Patty Hochmann, are bringing a more extensive Festival than ever before. This year’s programme is stimulating and entertaining, with a line-up of films and documentaries that echo many relatable themes. For the first time , we will be screening in Rotterdam and our opening night event will take place at DeBalie, Amsterdam.

Our 4th festival in Amsterdam will celebrate for the first time a collaboration with The Jewish Museum in Amsterdam. From the identity and secrets of the Israeli nation and its diverse individuals, to love and loss in their many forms, our Festival looks beyond the conflict which so often forms perception of the country.

Screenings are scheduled in Maastricht on October 28th, Amsterdam and Amstelveen from November 1st – 7th; Rotterdam on November 6th. Festival’s films and documentaries here, and on our website where you can book your tickets online and come along to the Festival to see the best of Israeli Film and TV for yourself.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, The SERET Amsterdam team
