Corpo Celeste 2011

13 year old Marta struggles to resettle after ten years growing up in Switzerland. Bright-eyed and restless, she observes the sights, sounds and smells of the southern Italian city but feels very much an outsider. About to take confirmation, Marta confronts the morality of the local Catholic community. A series of subtle moments trace her journey as she connects and conflicts with her mother, sister and the Sunday school teacher Santa. From experiencing her period to making a bold decision to cut her hair, Marta begins to shape her own life for the first time since moving back to Italy.
