In 1958 between February and July the fourteen year old Bernadette Soubirous witnessed eighteen apparitions of the Virgin Mary covered with light: Our Lady of Lourdes. Since then Massabielle, the suburb of the the Pyrenees and location of the apparitions, is the most important Marian faith centre in the world. From the rocks of the cave where the mystical conversations took place, the water which is believed to be miraculous gushes. The DVD immerses us in the spiritual atmosphere of Lourdes. The crowd of sick and pilgrims, the commitment of the volunteers, the story of the testimonies and the suggestion of the ceremonies lead us through the journey. The main subject though is the miracle. Thanks to archive documents, to the interviews with the specialists, to the analysis of the clinical folders made public for the first time, four among the over sixty cases of inexplicable healing are clarified, which the strict scientific controls classify as "miracles". Here the diaphragm between religion and reason is broken with a message of hope that can't leave us indifferent.
