Synopsis
Sarita Colonia was a humble girl from the Peruvian Andes who dedicated much of her life to the poor of Lima and sacrificed herself for them. She died in 1940 at the age of 24. Over time, her tomb became a place of veneration and pilgrimage because of the miracles she began to perform for the most needy. This documentary not only narrates Sarita's life as told by her siblings, but also explores the cult of this unrecognized saint through the migratory process in which she was involved. Her suffering, deprivation, and attempts to survive in the capital make Sarita a reflection of the lives of thousands of migrants who venerate her today.
