Heavy Air — Jizan city

They drive south until the sky itself changes — and Jizan hits Abdullah like a wall the second he opens the car door. Tropical heat, thick humid air, a dawn fish market on a wet quay, and a fisherman who sizes them up in one glance and offers his boat with a single word. The engine cuts inside a mangrove channel, green walls close in on both sides, and the loudest start of the trip goes completely silent. Ali's lens won't stop fogging. He shoots anyway. Episode 9 of HAJIMETE, a continuing anime series shot vertically in 25-second films, following a first journey across Saudi Arabia. Japanese audio. Subtitles in Arabic, English, Spanish and Turkish.
