Passion. Betrayal. Revenge.

1988103 min4.7 / 10

A noir-tinged romantic thriller about forbidden love between a priest and a woman fleeing a crime-world murder, caught between faith, family loyalty, and desire.

After witnessing her lover being murdered by his jealous wife, Angela seeks refuge in a church where she encounters a young priest named Michael, who gives her sanctuary. But the killing was not a simple act of passion, as the victim had ties to organized crime, and, surprisingly, so does Michael, whose father is a powerful don. When the priest finds himself falling in love with Angela, his religious vows and family ties are both severely tested.
