Aire: Just Breathe, or simply Aire, is a 2024 post-apocalyptic science fiction drama film co-written, co-produced and directed by Leticia Tonos.[1] Starring Sophie Gaëlle, Paz Vega and Jalsen Santana.[2] The film follows a biologist's journey to preserve what remains of humanity by implanting artificial intelligence to inseminate herself.[3] It was selected as the Dominican entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.[4]
In the year 2147, a virus as a result of a Great Chemical War has left all men on the planet sterile, bringing humanity to the brink of extinction. Biologist and scientist Tania tries to inseminate herself to ensure the survival of the human species, assisted by an artificial intelligence system called VIDA. However, everything changes when Azarias appears, a traveler with a dark past and possibly one of the last men on the planet.[5]
