Summary of “El angel”

The video El angel tells a touching and poetic story about a child’s death and the symbolic journey of an angel carrying the child’s spirit to heaven.

The narrative begins with the angel descending from heaven every time a good child dies, carrying the child’s body and flying over places significant to the child’s life. On one such journey, the angel notices a broken rosebush in a garden where the child once played and decides to take it to God, believing it will bloom in heaven.

As they continue flying over the city, the angel spots a withered wildflower growing in a broken flowerpot among the refuse. The angel explains that this flower belonged to a sick boy who lived in a cellar, unable to leave his home and always on crutches. Despite his hardships, the boy lovingly cared for the wildflower, which became his source of joy and a symbol of life and hope. After the boy’s death, the flower was left forgotten and withered.

In a heartfelt twist, the angel reveals that he himself was that sick boy, now transformed into an angel. The story culminates in a beautiful reunion in heaven, where the child and angel meet joyfully. The withered flower bursts into song alongside the choir of angels, symbolizing resurrection, hope, and eternal life.
