Synopsis
Salma's Big Wish (Día de Muertos, 2019) is a Mexican animated fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. For sixteen years, orphan Salma has longed to learn who her real parents were.
Raised by a warm foster family in the town of Santa Clara, she can't let the question go. When her two older brothers dig up an ancient book of spells that opens doors between worlds, the trio sets off for the City of the Dead — a place where the living meet the departed and answers come at a price. The whole adventure turns on Día de Muertos, Mexico's great festival of remembrance.
The hand-drawn animation leans hard into folk tradition: marigold-covered altars, painted skeletons, family shrines. It's a family adventure for an evening with older kids — no baby talk, but nothing to give them nightmares either. Stream Salma's Big Wish (2019) online on iFILM.
