Nevertheless, Wuytack was exiled to his home country Belgium by the Venezuelan authorities. Here, he continues the fight against injustice by supporting port workers from Antwerp. After thirty years of exile, Padre Francisco returns to South-America with his son, filmmaker Fabio Wuytack. Humorous and touching characters from the slums take the viewer on a voyage through the maze of Frans Wuytack’s exciting past.
