It’s been 120 years since the first White Train departed from Sicily headed to Lourdes, one of the most important places of Marian apparitions in Catholic world.
Fifty hours journey of a train that still crosses the country “loading” sick people and pilgrims full of hope and pain, all united by one desire: to reach the promised land and to meet The Holy Mother.
Maybe it was once the cheapest or the only way to reach the village, but now is different: who decides to embark on this odyssey is probably doing it for different reasons, looking for a different time.
That goes for Rosanna, Francesca and Francesco, our main characters.
Here’s the thing though: this year ride will probably be the last.
