In Portugal, not every saint goes to Church! Born in 1843, Sousa Martins, famous philanthropist doctor, became, despite him and his struggles as a man of the sciences, the object of a true religious cult. A popular cult, practiced outside any church or convention.
The statue erected in his memory in the core of Lisbon, at Campo Mártires da Pátria, is the starting point of a simultaneous personal and anthropological journey, which questions our need for faith and its relation to healing.
