Synopsis

A Spanish monk is expelled from his monastery at the age of 28 when he contracts TB. He returns home to Mejorada del Campo, a poor village on the outskirts of Madrid. At a loss as to how to devote his life to God, he decides to sell his family lands. Over the next sixty years, without help or architectural expertise, he builds a cathedral the size of Sagrada Familia using waste and recycled materials. He works mostly alone, without ever drawing a single sketch, whilst others label him as a madman.
