On the outskirts of Lima, 11-year-old Chito lives with his older brother Rockío (16) in a neighborhood built around a vast cemetery. On the rooftop of their home, Chito tends to his homing pigeons, birds that carry drugs as part of Rockío’s business. Chito shares a unique bond with these birds. Chito and his friends sell flowers outside the cemetery; they play and work joyfully among the graves. One afternoon, during a soccer match, played with the cemetery as their backdrop, the violence of their environment takes the lives of Rockío and another boy from the neighborhood, abruptly ending Chito’s childhood. Through ritual, music, and dance, the community mourns the dead children. Chito, shattered by grief, begins down a path toward vengeance. But a gesture of humanity alters his fate and that of his pigeons. A story about childhood, life, death, and the possibility of freedom… up there in the sky.
