Santa, an eight-year-old girl from the desolate Bolivian Altiplano, embarks on a rollercoaster journey to take her mother from a life of misery into paradise. The two of them made a pact: when her mother passes, the girl would follow the stars and carry her body across the desert toward heaven, a place they believe is as physically real as any other. Through the journey Santa encounters a group of female wrestlers that help her on her way. Also, on that path is a gruff policeman who arrests Santa but comes to suspect that she has magical powers. He soon sees that to achieve his own salvation he must join Santa on her quest beyond the horizon.
