Open-Pit (Spanish: Cielo abierto) is a 2023 Peruvian-French[1] experimental docudrama film[2] directed, written, co-produced and co-edited by Felipe Esparza Pérez in his directorial debut.[3] It is about a father and son separated by the death of the wife/mother whose paths will cross again.[4]
A Peruvian father labours patiently, chipping at the white volcanic stone that forms an extraordinary landscape. His son is part of the modern world: he uses cameras and drones in order to create the digital model of a church on a computer. Separated by the mysterious death of the wife/mother figure in the family, these men do not connect. And yet their paths cross in a ghostly manner, as do their professions: each in their own way works with textures and volumes, sensations and perceptions.[5]
