for righteous and repentant sinners The Mexican film screened at the opening of the festival is an outwardly chamber story of teenage revenge. Two brothers want revenge on the truck driver who fell asleep at the wheel and thus deprived their father. But in this private story, creators Santiago and Marianne Arriaga add ingredients that expand the space of the revenge story to an evangelical parable. The story adds a half-sister - the daughter of the mother's new boyfriend from her first marriage and her super-persistent, but solvent boyfriend. Father and son went hunting on that fateful trip, which is also important. The heads of the killed animals decorate the interior of the diner on the track, where the father and son last dined before the fatal accident.
Before meeting the unwitting killer face to face, the teens sneak into his modest apartment and see his wife, his child. And between family photos - a newspaper clipping with a note about the same accident. And between half-brother and sister flashes a spark of real and completely unbrotherly feeling. And the desire to shoot at the man who ruined their lives and the impossibility of it – all intertwined in a single tangle of a deep parable. And the film is not accidentally called “Open Sky”. The heavens are not only for the righteous, but also for the wicked. That's all there is. Sinners who dreamed of sin. There are moral boundaries that cannot be overcome. Another incarnation on the screen of the Voice of God. Indirect and bright.
