When the mother dies young, her husband becomes a priest with a gift for applying God's word to his parishioners' lives. The father-son bond is tested when the priest is stalked and seduced by an unstable woman who soon deserts him, leaving this gracious man severe and doctrinaire. How can Yu reconnect with his father? By committing outrageous sins and confessing...
