A Ferocious Devotion

Religion in the age of doubt. A colossal religious festival in a secularized society. A furious, visceral devotion that erupts for 3 days in a European city, transfiguring her inhabitants, before everything goes back to normal. A hard, dark, at times violent city, that gathers around a fragile saint-girl - who chose martyrdom not to give herself to the town's strong man. A photographic full immersion in search of this ritual's sense. A sense - everyone has got a worth that must never be surrendered - that goes far beyond Catania and far beyond religion.
