Abdul, Shahana and Ahmed are some of the thousands of cubans who decided to convert themselves to Islam.
Observing their daily life: work, prayer and family, it emerges the spiritual and social dimensions of three lives. Their choice represents not only an existential redemption, but also an opportunity to share a common space of worship like the Old Havana Mosque, created four years ago by Saudi Arabia and attended by the whole muslim community
