Lourdes is the story of a meeting, of several meetings. It is the story of those who have been and those who have never been to Lourdes. Those who imagine it, who hate it, who would have wanted to go there and ask for a miracle. It is a conversation, a series of dialogues happened in time between the author and people, following an order that goes from narration to memory, from memory to a reflection and then remains in the present of the scenic representation.
