The video focuses on fasting during the month of Ramadan, one of the five pillars of Muslim practice. Through testimonies made by Muslims from three Islamic communities in São Bernardo do Campo, we seek to understand the meanings of fasting, its breaking, the licit and the illicit, the Night of the Decree and, finally, the end of Ramadan with one of the main festivals of the Islamic calendar, Eid al Fitr.
