Santa, an eight-year-old girl from the desolate Bolivian Altiplano, embarks on a rollercoaster journey to take her mother from a life of misery into paradise. The two of them have made a pact: when her mother passes away, the girl will follow the stars and carry her body across the desert toward heaven, a place they believe is as physically real as any other.
Filmed across the high-altitude Altiplano and Yungas regions of Bolivia, near the capital of La Paz, Cielo is a visually arresting odyssey blending magical realism, emotional depth, an eye-popping color palette, and cultural richness.
Filmography: Jericho Mansions (2003), Killer Tongue (1996).
Screening on September 28th, attended by the director.
