Cuando el cielo vuelva a ser azul

About This Movie

Cuando el cielo vuelva a ser azul is a haunting documentary that captures the raw, heavy atmosphere surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru. Set against the backdrop of the Belaúnde cemetery in Lima, it unveils the stark reality of loss—graves filled with nameless souls, stripped of the dignity of farewell. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to confront the silence that enveloped the burial rituals. What’s distinctive here is the way it avoids grandstanding, focusing instead on intimacy and the quiet grief that permeates these stories. There are no flashy effects, just real-life emotions laid bare, making the viewer feel the weight of what was left unsaid. A powerful exploration of love and loss in unprecedented times.
