Overview
Un adolescente escapa con una chica a la que ha secuestrado tras matar con una pistola a un guardia de seguridad. Esta es la historia de una huida, una road movie en la que la maldad disimulada, la imposición de una identidad y el machismo soterrado son motivos suficientes para que el protagonista se fugue en compañía de la chica y reclame a voz en grito, en cada uno de sus actos, que lo dejen en paz.
Caídos del cielo fue adaptada al cine por el propio Ray Loriga (La pistola de mi hermano), que plasmó en imágenes ese mundo de obligaciones y retos que ponen en evidencia lo que hay detrás de él: nada.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A cult novel peppered with film and literary references, adapted for the screen by the author, winner of the Alfaguara Prize.
A teenager kidnaps a girl after killing a security guard. This is a road trip where evil in disguise, imposed identities and buried machismo are all the motive the main character needs to flee with his hostage and demand to be left in peace with every action he takes.
Adapted for the screen by Ray Loriga himself (author of My Brother’s Gun), Fallen from the Sky paints a series of indelible images of the world of challenges and obligations, allowing us to see what’s behind it: nothing.
