CIELO

Convinced she can lead her mother to paradise, an Aymara girl with magical powers embarks on a journey across the Bolivian Andes, leaving small miracles in her wake.

Eight-year-old Santa (Fernanda Gutiérrez Aranda) liberates her mother from the hands of an abusive father. Infused with the powers of a goldfish she swallowed whole, she sets off on a fantastical road trip toward a heaven in the sky she believes is as real as the ground beneath her. On her journey through the otherworldly Bolivian Altiplano, she tests the faith of a priest, befriends a troupe of cholita wrestlers, and clashes with a burnt-out cop grieving the death of his wife. Eyes firmly on the horizon, she leaves a trail of miracles in her wake and prompts her unlikely followers to question everything they believed was possible.

Shot on location in Bolivia with an eye-popping color palette, Spanish filmmaker Alberto Sciamma's magical realist road movie bursts with empathy and wonder.

"A deeply sincere fantasy drama that can tug on even the firmest of heartstrings."
Clint Worthington at RogerEbert.com

"…considerable ambition, aesthetic beauty and bittersweet enchantment."
Dennis Harvey at Variety
