In Bangui, Rodrigue and Reine are a couple jointly committed to the activities of their church. But they live with a heavy secret: they are sick with AIDS and carry it as divine punishment.
Rodrigue is faced with a life-changing decision when offered the role of assistant pastor at his church. Struggling with self-doubt and questioning his worthiness to lead, he finds himself caught between his devotion to his faith and a dependence on his wife's livelihood.
As the pandemic worsens, ARV drugs in short supply and a dangerous rumour is spreading that HIV-positive individuals will not survive taking the Covid-19 vaccine. Rodrigue and Reine's faith is pushed to its limits.
In desperation, Reine believes that a miracle could save her husband. Driven by hope, she embarks on a powerful journey - taking Rodrigue from church to pilgrimage, from prayers of repentance to spiritual fasts - all in search of divine healing.
This film explores the intersection of faith, love, sacrifice, and the search for healing and acceptance against all odds.
