Synopsis of the Film: An asylum in El Salvador is the home of 250 people, old or physically or mentally handicapped. We meet the jumble of plates in bright colours, the noisy televisions and the sheet-metal beds, but also the peaceful pursuit of pastimes in corridors and dormitories. Death is always present here, as is life and love.
