The documentary tells, through the living and moving memories of the
Favelas people in Salvador de Bahia, in the village of Tabocas and the
family in Alto Adige, the life of the missionary Luis Lintner, killed by
some hooligans in Brazil, on May 16th 2002. The cry of pain
of the poor in the Favelas becomes an occasion to reflect on the reasons
of such violence and injustice, on the motive of Father Luis' death and
how, after all, his teachings continue to live among the people who have
met him.
