Directed by Jan Komasa, the film follows 20-year-old Daniel's spiritual transformation while living in a youth correctional facility. He wanted to be a priest, but his criminal record made his ideal impossible. And when he's sent to work in a small town's carpenter's workshop, he disguises himself as a priest and takes over the parish by accident. The young, charismatic missionary came to a community that had just experienced tragedy, and the rebuilding of the community gave Daniel unlimited opportunities.

    I smoke, I drink, I take drugs, I promiscuous, but I am still a good "bishop", even if I can't save the rotten body, I can still comfort the lost soul.

    The story of the parole brother pretending to be a priest is very routine. It brings new vitality to the community without any accident, and resolves the heartbreak of the accident victims. It is not very convincing. On the contrary, it is more powerful to finally return to prison to face his own sins. The tone of the whole film is dark and cold, the atmosphere is deserted, and the technique is nothing special. The title of the film is Latin, and the current ceremonial language of the Polish Catholic Church turned out to be Polish.
