Description

This is a somewhat irreverant look at the Church of San Ignacio (Saint Ignatius of Loyola) in Bogata. Established in the 17th century by the Jesuit order, it is a building of lavish baroque interior and exterior edifices and statuary. The film examines the subtle antagonisms between popular and clerical uses of the sacred images and rites.
