El cielo sube
Heaven Rises
During the Summer of 1957 a man named Juan de Dios is convalescing in a country hotel. His doctor has prescribed total rest: ”not a movement, not a thought.“ Stretched out on a lounge chair, Juan de Dios ”sinks into boredom, like the victim of a shipwreck sinks in the sea“. But this kind of discipline seems impossible right from the start. He is overwhelmed by a myriad of physical, aural, visual and olfactory sensations that keep his mind alert. After three hours of this kind of ”holiday“ he announces his departure at the hotel desk.
