Soraya, born in Brooklyn in a working class community of Palestinian refugees, discovers that her grandfather’s savings were frozen in a bank account in Jaffa when he was exiled in 1948. Stubborn, passionate and determined to reclaim what is hers, she fulfills her life-long dream of “returning” to Palestine. Once there, slowly she is taken apart by the reality around her and is forced to confront her own anger. She meets Emad, a young Palestinian whose ambition, contrary to hers, is to leave forever. Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives, they know in order to be free, they must take things into their own hands, even if it’s illegal. In this quest for life, we follow their trail through remains of Palestine.

The acclaimed debut feature of Alice Rohrwacher (Happy as Lazzaro), Corpo Celeste is the story of 13 year old Marta, immersed in Catholic Confirmation classes after moving to Italy from Switzerland. A silent observer of her new surroundings, Marta approaches the classes with the same curiosity as the trash pickers in her neighborhood. The beautiful super 16mm cinematography of Hélène Louvart (The Beaches of Agnès) captures the urban landscape in a way that reflects Marta’s experience – non-judgmental, inquisitive – resulting in a distinctive approach to a coming-of-age story.
