An 8-year-old girl with special powers sets off on a journey to take her mother to paradise, fulfilling what she had promised her: to kill her first and then revive her, bringing her life back. To do this, she has to carry here body across the desert to heaven, a place she thought was so real as any other. With a fabulous palette of colors in the arid landscape of Bolivia where it was filmed, this is one of the most original fantasy films of the year, directed by Alberto Sciamma of “Killer Tongue”, a film already presented at Fantasporto and winner of the Rome Festival in 1996.
