Absolution

In a secluded Catholic boys' school, the strict disciplinarian Father Goddard holds unquestioned authority over his young wards, instilling in them a sense of fear and reverence for both his person and his beliefs. One day, one of these impressionable students confesses to a terrible crime - murder. This unexpected confession throws Father Goddard's rigid worldview into disarray and forces him to confront the darkness within himself as he struggles with his own suppressed desires. As the school becomes a battleground for spirituality, morality, and the complexities of human nature, Father Goddard's life begins to unravel dangerously, challenging not only his authority but also his deep-rooted faith in an increasingly uncertain world.
