SAINT LAZARUS’S MIRACLE

Spain | 2016 | 57’

Every December 17th, thousands of Cubans peregrinate towards Saint Lazarus’s hermitage, located near Havana City. Some of them do it to venerate this biblical figure, others, the equivalent deity in Santeria. Many atone themselves on their way there and enter the temple exhausted. This documentary shows the life of some of these pilgrims on the day of the historical reestablishment of relations between The USA and Cuba.
