1994, Movie, NR, 97 mins

A conservative young priest in Liverpool (Linus Roache) struggles with the needs of his working-class parish, the decidedly non-traditional views of the senior Father (Tom Wilkinson), and a crisis of his own sexual orientation.

As he sits alone in his car, he reaches for the biggest obstacle in his life right now — his Vicodin. Then... Smash Cut to: the Pulpit. He's a priest! That's it. That's my way in.
