Born in 1943, Sara Gómez studied literature, piano, and Afro-Cuban ethnography before becoming the first female Cuban filmmaker. A woman of great intelligence, independence and generosity, she was a revolutionary filmmaker with intersecting concerns about the Afro-Cuban community and the value of its cultural traditions, women's issues, and the treatment of the marginalized sectors of society.
Through conversations with men and women practicing the Yoruba religion -better known as "Santeria" in Cuba-, the documentary narrates through a simple and direct record the phenomenon of faith and how it entered their lives.
