Follows Thomas who serves an eight year prison term for the murder of a young boy. We witness the halting, awkward steps Thomas takes to set his life back on track as an organist at a Catholic church. The woman he loves is not only the priest, but also the single mother of a young, blond son who eerily resembles the child Thomas killed. The switch from the narrative perspective of the perpetrator to that of the wronged party half way though the picture, establishes two distinctly different experiences of the same events and allows us to gain deeper insight into the minds of the characters. Outstanding are a beautifully composed sound score and esthetically refined cinematography. “It's absolutely the best movie I have seen in years!” --Michael Moore, Academy Award® winning director.
