A group of souls gathers in Babel — the neighborhood bar and purgatory itself — to settle unfinished business with death. In this fantasy world, various characters embark on their own journeys toward redemption and second chances, immersed in rituals and secrets. This feverish tale unfolds in a vibrant and sexy atmosphere, filled with music and queerness, and brought to life by a predominantly POC and LGBTQ+ cast. Gala del Sol’s debut film presents a refreshing work of syncretism, blending classical elements from Dante’s Inferno with magical realism and Colombian tropical flair — a celebration of love, life, and death.
