A couple finds rest in a private gym (Bronx FitnessHub) transformed into a center for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the city of Lviv after escaping shelling by the Russian armed forces on the city of Kiev. More than 80 beds have been made available by the owners of the gym, with the consent of their customers, who have taxed themselves to provide everything necessary for the displaced. People here have their first shower, food and clothes. Most of them after a couple of days will move to Poland. The title "Cristo velato" is given for the similarity of the famous statue in Naples.
