New York Premiere!
A closeted Polish priest caring for a group of troubled teens finds his repressed desires emerging when a beautiful young arsonist appears in this sumptuous Teddy Award–winning drama.
New York Premiere!
Father Adam is the talk of the small Polish town he’s assigned to. Handsome, strong and unfazed by a violent group of local teens, he’s idolized and occasionally hit on by local men and women alike.
