Synopsis

The neo gothic cathedral that stands over La Plata’s central square is as typical as the rock culture that runs through the diagonal streets of this college city. Diego Prado’s first film Al Cielo finds a tangential way of combining the presence of rock and religion, without using their stereotypes and thus managing to tell a story hidden in the corners of nameless streets where the capital of the Buenos Aires province has a spontaneous neighborhood atmosphere with no generational winks or juvenile demagogy. A teenager born into a catholic family, Andrés’ life is torn between two martyrs: a rock musician who just died, and Jesus, to whom he devotes hours in the parish meetings he traditionally attends. A film that accomplishes a precise view into this story of forked initiation, zigzagging between these conflictive worlds that nevertheless coexist in a bizarre and yet gentle way.
