Great Passion and Tragic Betrayal

A haunting, deeply melancholic meditation on forbidden love and its tragic consequences, told through a prison play that forces a bishop to confront his buried past.

1952: Bishop Bilodeau visits a prison to hear the confession of Simon, a boyhood friend jailed for murder 40 years ago. However, once there, Bilodeau finds himself forced to watch a play put on by Simon and the other inmates depicting the two men's youths. As the play progresses, the tragic truth of Simon's crime comes to light.
