CHRONICLES OF A WANDERING SAINT opens June 28 at IFC Center in New York, LA July 5 at Lumiere Cinema and SF on July 19 at the Roxie.

In a tiny rural village in Argentina, Rita Lopez, a pious yet insatiably competitive woman, decides that staging a miracle could be her ticket to sainthood. After discovering a lost statue in the back room of her chapel, she convinces her neglected but loving husband to help her orchestrate the grand reveal that will finally anoint her as the most admired woman in town. But before the unveiling, a jarring turn of events illuminates the hidden magic of her world, forcing her to reevaluate everything she once took for granted. 

CHRONICLES OF A WANDERING SAINT is an exploration of love, community, and transcendence that finds reverence in the ordinary. In his feature debut, Buenos Aires-born, AFI-trained director Tomás Gómez Bustillo combines religion, magic, and folklore, along with a luminous performance by Monica Villa (WILD TALES, WAITING FOR THE HEARST, THE HOLY GIRL), to celebrate the absurdity of being human. Along will Villa, Horacio Anibal Marassi also stars.
