The recovery of a silent feature film from 1924, banned by the Italian fascism, reveals the path of the Waldensians, a medieval heretic movement that became the world's first protestant church. During the last decades, the Waldensians had struggled the Vatican around issues like gay marriage and euthanasia. The documentary is a mirror's game between reality and representation, between the medieval Waldensians and actual communities with different languages in Italy, Argentina, Uruguay and the United States, wondering why the waldensian heresy has resisted for more than eight centuries.

Medieval heresy and the first Protestant church in history, the Waldensians are at the same time an 850-year-old peasant community and a current that in recent decades has challenged the Vatican. The documentary aims to tell the story from the reflections, the counterpoint between the medieval primitive Waldensians and the actuality of characters with different languages, to ask why, after more than eight centuries, the Valdense heresy still resists.—Sebastián Incaurgarat
