Summary
Ángel de fuego is a 1992 Mexican drama film directed by Dana Rotberg, notable as one of the few films from Mexico's 'New Wave' directed by a woman. The story revolves around Alma, a young trapeze artist in a struggling circus, and her complicated relationship with her father, Renato, a sick clown. After being expelled from the circus, Alma joins an itinerant group of puppeteers who preach the word of God. The film explores themes of faith, redemption, and innocence lost. Although plot details vary slightly between sources, they agree that it's a story of desperation, hope, and ultimately, disillusionment.
