A major Russian cyberattack left Norway's Arctic Islands without means to communicate. On Air explores, in an artistic and subtle way, the vital role of radio amateurs in keeping our backup communication systems alive. Set against a striking arctic backdrop, the film reflects on society's digital vulnerabilities.
