    • Synopsis
    • Santa, an 11 year old girl from the desolate Bolivian Altiplano, embarks on a roller-coaster journey to take her mother out of a life of suffering and into eternal paradise. The little girl has a pact with her mother, and to fulfill it she must first end her life and then carry the body, through endless desert landscapes into heaven itself; a place they both believe to be as physically real as any other.
      Through the journey Santa encounters a group of female wrestlers that will assist her in her journey and her nemesis, a policemen who gradually comes to believe that Santa may have magical powers and realizes that to achieve his own salvation and redemption he must join her in her quest into the unknown.
