Eight-year-old Santa (Fer Monserrat) lives with her loving mother and abusive dad in the desolate Bolivian Altiplano, her life made small against the vastness of the desert that surrounds her. One fateful morning, the curious girl swallows a bright yellow fish, unleashing a journey of grief and wonder that will see her drive big old trucks, meet stern priests and heartbroken policemen, and — most importantly — join a badass all-female Indigenous wrestling troupe. With Cielo, Alberto Sciamma plays with magical realism to create a modern fairytale about our elusive search for heaven that is as touching as it is joyful. Rafa Sales Ross
