A documentary from Veracruz tells the story of eight individuals who inherited Jewish traditions and practiced them in secret. For years, they hid their true faith by outwardly following Catholicism, preserving their rituals quietly until they felt safe to openly embrace their heritage. The film captures their struggles, resilience, and the rediscovery of their cultural identity.
