Synopsis
Debut film about three kids who witnessed a drama in their youth that still pursues them today. Were they only witnesses or maybe also responsible? While everything shimmers with religious excitement around the annual procession, the friends wrestle with memories and guilt.

Our take
You’ll find shades of Carlos Reygadas—notably Battle in Heaven—in this enigmatic parable of the Iztapalapa Passion Play. A sharp debut from Alejandro Gerber Bicecci boasting terrific performances from a cast of unknowns, Becloud weaves a tangled web of mystery, memory and religious fervor.
