As healthcare professionals on the Brazilian public health system struggle to defend lives in a country abandoned by its president, Quando Falta o Ar inhabits the intersection between health, religiosity, inequality, and structural racism in various regions nationwide. Through interviews with doctors, nurses, and community workers, the documentary approaches the pandemic from the perspective of the caregiver, revealing the human face of a collective battle against Covid-19.
