Priest
Vivid, uncompromising journey into the soul of a tortured Catholic priest as he struggles with his own sexuality, his vow of celibacy and the confidentiality of the confessional.
Jimmy McGovern-penned drama in which a conservative Catholic priest is torn between his calling and his secret life as a homosexual man with a gay lover, frowned upon by the Church. Upon hearing the confession of a young girl of her incestuous father, Greg enters an intensely emotional spiritual struggle deciding between choosing morals over religion and one life over another.
