The following story was written from clinical reports of a person affected by Bento Rodrigues. The sub-district of Bento Rodrigues is located 35 km from the center of Mariana, the State of Minas Gerais. In October 2015, Bento Rodrigues had an estimated population of 600 inhabitants, who occupied approximately 200 houses. O Bento, so called by its residents, was one of the most important paths along the Estrada Real. On November 5, 2015, the Fundão dam, which contained tailings from the extraction and processing of iron ore, broke, affecting hundreds of residents of the villages of Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu de Baixo, which were located a few kilometers away. What is the role of religion in this episode? Is it possible to achieve forgiveness from the appeased memory? Reconciliation of the people would be to reconstitute the land, the community and its daily life. The people were inserted in the urban environment, far from their existential bonds. The character Job can exemplify the condition of emptiness of the people of Bento, evoking the abyss of suffering in which he is immersed.
