In the Name Of

Father Adam (Andrzej Chyra) is relocated to a rural village, where he runs a refuge for youths with troubled pasts. It is there, that he meets handsome local outsider, Łukasz (Mateusz Kościukiewicz), and soon Adam struggles to reconcile his attraction to the young man and his spiritual calling. To the village, his energy and enthusiasm are appreciated and the locals accept him as one of their own. 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. Directed by Małgośka Szumowska, 'In the Name Of' is a sensual and deeply visceral portrayal of a Catholic priest battling his own desires. (iTunes)
