Description: “In the Highest of the Skies” presents a premise reminiscent of Luis Bunuel’s surreal storytelling.
A diverse group gathers at the Vatican for a meeting with the Pope. They enter a large freight elevator and press the button for an upper floor. Time passes, and someone realizes they’ve been in the elevator for an unusually long time. Minutes turn into more minutes, and the elevator keeps ascending, displaying an unexpectedly high number of floors. Panic sets in as the passengers realize they’re trapped in an elevator that seemingly travels endlessly upward.
As tension mounts, tempers flare. A claustrophobic labor unionist becomes increasingly agitated and is tragically killed by a fellow passenger. Later, as exhaustion sets in, a priest behaves inappropriately with a young girl, leading to his restraint. In this confined space filled with people of faith, the situation deteriorates further as they begin to turn on one another.
