Mountainair, where day skies pour an ocean of glorious blue like no blue you’ve ever imagined. Clouds yawn, then stretch, before bursting into brilliance of grays, whites and mystery. When days end arrives, you meet that moment, briefly, quietly, you cannot touch it, see it, feel it. It is that slip of time right before a universe explodes above, and every constellation competes for attention in a mythological spot of forever. Some piece of enchantment exists here, elusive, ethereal. Artists have tried to capture her mystery for centuries. Truth is, you cannot capture the mystery; but, you can allow it to become part of you. Where do you think her name came from? Simply inhale. - Joni Woodruff

This is a documentary about the small town of Mountainair, New Mexico.
