Via air is a documentary film about an airport, a place between the sky and the earth. It tells the story of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, from it's very first flights in the year 1952 until the present day.
Despite the past 60 years of expansion, it seems that the airport will never be finished. At the same time people are flying further and further and the world is getting smaller.
Via air looks at the past, present and future of this era of flying. Now the skies are open to us, but for how long?
