Synopsis |
|
Father Greg (Linus Roache) is a
Catholic priest who tends to a
parish in Liverpool. Like his
superior, Father Matthew (Tom
Wilkinson), Father Greg is not
dealing well with his vow of
celibacy. While Matthew has been
discreetly having an affair with his
housekeeper, Greg is gay. One night,
Father Greg meets a man named Graham
(Robert Carlyle) at the bar; when he
bumps into him on the street a few
days later, he realizes that he's
falling in love with him. As Father
Greg struggles with his sexual and
spiritual identity, he hears a
confession from 14-year-old Lisa
Unsworth (Christine Tremarco), who
tells him that her father has been
molesting her. Mr. Unsworth (Robert
Pugh) confirms his daughter's
allegation during confession, and he
tells the priest that he will not
stop his incestuous behavior. Can
Father Greg violate the seal of the
confessional to save Lisa from
further abuse? |
