Summary
In the "Villa Virgin" a shantytown in the slums of Buenos Aires, Julian and Nicolas two priests and long standing friends, work tirelessly to help the local people. Nicolas joins Julian in overseeing the construction of a hospital following the failure of a project he was leading in which paramilitary forces assasinated members of the community. Deeply troubled by his actions, Nicolas finds solace in Luciana a young, attractive atheist social worker. As Nicolas' beliefs wane, tension and violence grow between the slum's drug-dealing cartels and when work on the hospital is halted by ministerial decree, the faith of the entire community is put to the test
