In the breathtaking Bolivian Altiplano, precocious 8-year-old Santa (Fernanda Gutiérrez Aranda) lives a hardscrabble life with her devoted mother. Desperate to lift the burden, she devises an otherworldly plan to save her mother from hardship. Starting by swallowing a goldfish, she sets off on a fantastical journey that will take her across the country to find a mystical land without suffering. Along the way she crosses paths with a boisterous troupe of wrestling Cholitas, a remote priest and a weary cop, leaving a trail of miracles in her wake. Shot on location in Bolivia with an eye-popping color palette, Spanish filmmaker Alberto Sciamma’s sensational magical realist fable bursts with empathy and resilience.
