“Upon Open Sky”, a road-film set in the 90s in the arid desert region of Coahuila that revolves around two teenage brothers who are determined to avenge the death of their father in a traffic accident. A profound reflection on grief and revenge. They are joined by his new stepsister who, at first unaware of his intentions, then becomes a willing accomplice. As they deliberate what to do with their long-awaited prey, the path they take is an exercise that helps the brothers come to terms with the deep pain of their loss. The celebrated and multi-awarded screenwriter and writer Guillermo Arriaga, father of the directors and Oscar nominee (Amores Perro/Babel) wrote the story based on his experience of an accident he suffered and gave it to his children to direct. A film about looking back and experiencing the tension, sadness and catharsis of adolescents from an essential journey on the path of adulthood.
