Ascensor is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2019, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Ascensor is an exploration of grief, longing, and mysticism through a queer lens. It documents a syncretic ritual that culls from the magical reverberations in Mexican culture to process the unexpected loss of a dear friend. The repetition of the ritual eventually leads to the transcendence of physical space, transforming unrelenting ache into shining resilience.
