Synopsis
The film is a dramatic thriller set in Quebec City, where a murderer, Otto Keller, confesses his crime to Father Michael Logan during confession. Because a priest cannot break the seal of the confessional, Father Logan is bound to silence, even when circumstances lead the police to suspect him of the murder. The film explores the moral dilemma of the priest as evidence mounts against him, with the real murderer walking free. |
