A celestial angel comes to earth to save the humans from the destruction of their planet. However, when he falls in a village in Malaga, the villagers mistake him for death and begin to fight among themselves to avoid leaving with him. Instead of peace, he only succeeds in provoking more violence.



Manolo Orellana Naranjo

Born in Montejaque, Malaga (1998), after finishing psychology, he studied screenwriting at the ECAM. His films have always mixed fantastic element with his hometown. With ”Los horrores de la guerra” he obtained a special mention from the jury and the Biznaga de plata, Audience Award, at the Malaga Festival. He is currently writing ‘La Milagrosa’, selected for the Wos Fabrique residency in France, with which he intends to continue developing the surrealist humour that pervades his world, full of shrimps, envious people and astronauts with Malaga accents. His next project, “En Toronto no pasan estas cosas”, is already in distribution.
