El milagro de San Lázaro

On 17 December thousands of Cubans go on a pilgrimage to St. Lazarus hermitage located near Havana. In 2014 this was also the day when diplomatic relations between Cuba and the US were re-established. The pilgrimage is shown from the perspective of priests, local residents trying to make a quick buck on the religious cult and, above all, the pilgrims themselves. Some of them mortify their bodies in a spectacular way.
