A now uninhabitable church is decommissioned in the presence of the old pastor. The environment is stripped of all sacred furnishings, and not even the large crucifix will be saved. From this situation begins a new life for the building, which, now stripped of all liturgical and "institutional" aspects, is transformed into the place of the living concretization of the old priest's faith. A place of desolation is thus transformed into a space of brotherhood and welcome for a group of non-EU Africans without residence permits, the embodiment of the excluded and marginalized in our society.
