Sinopse
On September 10, 2006, and for the second consecutive year, every ECian immigrant celebrated the procession in honor of the Virgin of El Cisne, “La Churona”, in Madrid. Thousands of them flooded the streets to venerate their Patron Mother. The Virgin left for the procession from the San Lorenzo Church in Lavapiés – which had served as her refuge all along – but when mass came to an end, she was not allowed back in the chapel. Other churches didn’t allow her in either. This is the story of an ECian Virgin “without papers” who is looking for a place to live in Madrid.
