Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A Catholic priest in-training experiences duel crises of religious and personal origins in filmmaker Min Buong-hun's spiritually driven drama. Seminary student Paul (Seo Jang-won) has recently received word that his mother has fallen ill. Immediately taking a leave of absence to be by his ailing mother's side, Paul returns home only to find that his romantic feelings for former girlfriend Sua (Lee Min-jung) may prove powerful enough to draw him away from the cloth.
