By turns darkly comic and unsettling, THIN AIR chronicles the lives of three magicians against the backdrop of contemporary Bombay: middle aged Magician Shailendra is a prosaic, small time entertainer whose entire world hinges on the belief that his audience loves him; 12-year-old child-wonder Kruti Parekh is "the world's youngest magician and India's first test-tube baby"; and long forgotten legend Niranjan Mathur is a fading conjurer, who, having lost his popularity, is gradually beginning to lapse into Dementia. This unique documentary, traces with humor and compassion, the urgent desperation of everyday individuals to make an imprint on the world.
