Notes
A fine film, which I liked very much -- However, its lack of narrative both makes this Polish language film relatively easy to follow, and also hard to dig deeper than one's personal intrepretations of deep meaningul glances -- Nevertheless, the thrust is clear, not only does the construct of celibacy and gay-sin impose pain on the person, but interfears with his ministry with his youthful charges, contrary to fundamental Christian beliefs.
