Bread of Life - Letting go of guilt. Holding on to faith

Trapped between devotion and self-denial, Alejandro once believed love couldn't exist without guilt. But when he rejects this painful belief, a new world opens.

This gripping personal documentary explores his journey from internalized repression to spiritual and emotional liberation. It’s a portrait of resilience, faith, and radical acceptance in a world where love and religion are too often at odds
