Approximate plot:

A young man who robbed a newsstand, used drugs, killed people, and was admitted to a juvenile detention center. After being released from prison on parole, he especially wanted to be a priest, and begged the prison priest to let him go to the priest academy for further studies. But the priest refused, a sin cannot be a priest before.

The young man was disheartened, so he had to take a car to the designated place of work - the sawmill. After getting off the bus, he was unwilling and walked into the church⛪️. The church activity was over, and there was only one girl left. He went up to chat with him, took out the godfather's clothes issued in prison, and said that he was a priest. The girl I asked happened to be the daughter of the old priest of the church, so the girl ran to call her mother, and her mother came over and took him to see the old priest.

The old priest brought out wine to serve him. He didn't drink it himself, poured it for him, and inspected him, "Which seminary do you attend? Will you skip classes when you go to school? Which church will you be assigned to after graduation?" Fortunately, the teenagers answered falteringly.

The next morning, the old priest fell drunk on the floor beside his bed, unable to do mass, so he had to let the new priest come. The new priest did not disappoint everyone and finished the first Mass perfectly.

The old priest said that he had committed a "sin" and was suffering in his heart. He wanted to find God and get God's redemption. The church asked a new priest to help him take care of it for a while. The new priest agreed quietly, and from the six memorial photos in front of the church, he learned that some dead people had happened here.

He moved into the godfather's house and became good friends with the godfather's daughter. From her daughter's mouth, he learned that there was a car accident here. Six young drivers were "drunk" and killed by a big truck driver. The perpetrators, unforgivable, wrote letters to condemn the truck driver's wife and prevent the truck driver from being buried in the town. So the truck driver's wife kept the door closed all day, guarding her husband's ashes and not letting anyone in.

The new priest wants to know what happened to the car accident. At a party, several teenagers quarreled about how to treat the truck driver's wife. One side said that the truck driver was to blame. He deserved death because he hit and killed an innocent friend. The other side held a different opinion, saying that the truck driver could not be blamed. He was also a victim. Teenagers may be on drugs. An autopsy was also done on the matter, but it was not brought up by the police, and the autopsy just said the truck driver was drunk. From the video of the old priest's daughter, he confirmed that the six teenagers took drugs that night, including her younger brother.

However, this conclusion was rejected under the investigation of the new priest. On his second visit to the truck driver's house, his wife met them. During the conversation, he learned that the truck driver did not drink alcohol that day, and that he had been sober for four years.

The new priest was indignant to learn that the town, the police and the victim's family were deliberately pointing the culprit of the accident at the truck driver. He wanted to put the driver into the town and give them justice.

The current new priest is very popular. He exaggerated a little, but sincerely completed the work of confession, homage and prayer, and recovery of the relics of the deceased. The Christians were very satisfied and sent him many gifts.

However, he wanted to participate in the investigation of the car accident, but it attracted the opposition of the mayor. The mayor reminded him several times, but he didn't take it, so on the night he and the mayor's daughter first fell in love, someone set fire to his storage room. He was very angry and launched a fundraiser the next day. The money was supposed to help him get rid of the trouble of his ex-cellmates. His cellmates were going to report him as a fake priest, but if he was given a sum of money, he could choose to shut up disappear.

But the new priest was driven by professional ethics and the principle of maintaining justice. Instead of keeping the money to protect himself, he announced in public that the money was used to bury the truck driver and put him in the ground.

This behavior disturbed not only his fellow inmates, but also the mayor, as well as the family members of the victims, especially the wife of the old priest, who could not accept the burial of the driver with her son. So the new priest invited the mayor, the wife of the old priest, and the wife of the truck driver to negotiate together. After some quarrel, he agreed to bury the truck driver in the town.

In the end, the truck driver was successfully buried in the town, but the new priest was also reported and sent to prison. Back in prison, he was threatened and beaten by a gang, and in his rage, he nearly killed the gang boss. He became a troubled teenager again, lost in prison.

The reason for the low score is: Nordic movies, slow rhythm, not strong conflicts, and the protagonist's image is not full enough, which makes people feel immersed. And as a superficial movie lover, it's not cool enough to watch.
