The Praying

While scandals and church closures, as well as the overall decline of our religious communities are extensively documented, the question remains as to what happens to the faithful who persist in praying to the God of the Catholics? What remains of this belief that is so intrinsically woven into our Quebec history? This film is an invitation to contemplate the faces of the praying, to discover who they are and to wonder about this mysterious exchange that is whispered between humans and the Sacred.
