An eccentric astrologer from Naples guides lost souls in last year’s most amusing hybrid documentary about daring to embrace one’s deepest dreams.

Under the Neapolitan starry sky, the uncompromising 63-year-old astrologer Luciana helps her clients realize their deepest desires. All it takes is for them to travel to a specific geographic location on their birthday to be "reborn" under a new sky (always with Luciana’s sharp eye on the best deals from Skyscanner). This ritual, whether it takes them to Taipei, Beirut, or a simulated journey in their living room, leads clients to life-changing revelations and insights into what they truly seek in life. Acclaimed director Peter Kerekes’ Wishing on a Star is an enchantingly warm and humorous documentary about the longing for a better life.
