A film that shows that, from our human perspective, it may not be easy at all to judge who deserves a touch of heaven and who does not. Each of us falls into sins, big or small, but what matters is being able to get back up. The effort to change—or repentance—is the force that the film Pane dal cielo emphasizes as the decisive factor on our journey.

Lilli and Annibale, two homeless people, find a crying baby abandoned in a dumpster. They take the baby to the nearest children’s hospital, but none of the doctors or nurses there can see the baby.

They soon discover that many other people can see the baby just as they do. Many others, however, do not. For some reason, the child is invisible to some and visible to others.

News of this extraordinary event spreads quickly, and soon journalists and the media begin to report on it. This remarkable and well-crafted film won the awards for Best Film and Best Director at the 2018 Mirabile Dictu Festival.
