Synopsis
A sensitive, devout priest, Father Adam takes over a small parish in the middle of nowhere. His new calling is a tiny close-knit village in a remote location, where he also runs a community centre for boys with troubled pasts.
His energy and enthusiasm are appreciated by all, the locals accept him as one of their own and he has great success with the delinquent boys. Everybody wants to be close to him, feeding off of his vitality and power, but no one knows that Father Adam harbours his own secret.
After meeting handsome local outsider, Lukasz, an eccentric and silent young man, Adam struggles with the internal conflict between his desires as a man and his spiritual calling, forcing the priest to confront a long forgotten burden and passion. As the villagers' worst suspicions are validated, Father Adam becomes an obvious enemy.
