Antonio Divino
This short documentary, with its aim of exposing the festival from the perspective of Andalusian culture and anthropology, delves into the complexities of this celebration. Understanding how difficult it is for outsiders to grasp that a saint could be a member of the UGT (General Union of Workers) during the Civil War and possess a membership card, we gradually decipher the festival while simultaneously revealing features common to many other celebrations deeply rooted in the culture and popular religiosity of the Andalusian people, such as the presence of a communist mayor presiding over the saint's procession and offering cheers.
