Synopsis

In a poor village, a local saint controls the realm of the abyss, making it impossible for dead people to talk to their loved ones in the land of the living. Ima, a curious dead child, tries to meet the saint so that he can let her talk to her beloved grandmother. A sharp, ironic satire of the almighty Catholic Church.
