A narrator leads the viewer into a magical-realist history that is
bereft of fabrication. Above Us Only Sky questions the surreal
logic of chance, repetition of events, and synchronicity. It blurs
the boundaries that separate us from the past through a present that
shifts and fluctuates between reality, imagination, and speculation.
