Release Date: 1970-01-01
Runtime: 0h 8min
Production Country: Colombia
Director: Carlos Mayolo

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.
