Alice Rohrwacher's inaugural writing and directing effort follows 13-year-old Marta's struggle to adapt to her new life in a devoutly Catholic town in southern Italy, having spent her childhood in Switzerland. Corpo Celeste explores self-expression, alienation and the tribulations of teenagedom against an Italian backdrop void of its usual sun, sea and sand.
