The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
Forgive me father, for I am 14.
A warm, playful coming-of-age comedy about Catholic school boys bonding over pranks and mischief in the 1970s, balancing youthful irreverence with genuine friendship and growth.
A group of Catholic school friends, after being caught drawing an obscene comic book, plan a heist that will outdo their previous prank and make them local legends.
