In 1961, Justo Gallego decided to build a Cathedral honoring the Virgen del Pilar.Coupling the asceticism and the moral rectitude of the monk to the imagination of the architect and the dexterity of a bricklayer, Justo, at 93 years old, is the living embodiment of an unconventional spiritual path. By his side, Angel, a former gunner, has been helping him for over twenty years. The documentary portrays the day to day of this peculiar space in the outskirts of the big spanish capital. With strokes of surrealism, the story dives into the psyche of these two ambivalent characters that make up the bizarre microcosm of the “Cathedral of Faith”.
