Documentary
In Siculiana, a small Sicilian town full of flaking facades, religiosity is lived out as a matter of course. And of course the figure of Jesus Christ worshipped here is black, and always has been. However, some people cannot get used to their dark-skinned neighbours in the refugee camp. The camera accompanies locals and stranded people along their paths, which often lead to the church, but not necessarily together, and draws a kind of map of the city in black-on-black contrasts.

[CPH:DOX] The film talks about the contradictions of Siculiana, who rejects the immigration of young Africans but venerates a black Christ. Although the approach may be somewhat forced, the result is a deep reflection on the double standard of how immigrants are seen in a town in which almost all have been emigrants. It's the representation of the xenophobic policies of the Italian government symbolized in Siculiana.
