The viewer is confidentially invited to listen at HIV infected story life and take part in a long part through the Santeria and the fight against aids in Cuba. The movie addresses how the National Health Sysyem approach promotes prevention and alternative therapies beyond biomedicine, as well as priests of the Santeria become protagonists of a speech that goes beyond religion. The ethnographic field work in Cuba shows how inseparable are health care, religion and communication at once. The HIV infected shares his experience with an anthropologist observer and the image easily expresses feelings and behaviors as clues of his personal identity. Written by
