20-year-old Daniel (Bartosz Bielenia) has found God while incarcerated in a youth detention centre, but his criminal record excludes him from entering the seminary. Upon his release, he is assigned to a position in a woodworking factory in a small Polish town. There, as luck – or perhaps a God-given opportunity – would have it, a case of mistaken identity has him inadvertently assuming the role of the parish’s new clergyman.

After a shaky start, Daniel and his unmistakably passionate but wholly unconventional approach to the pulpit becomes the spark needed to reunite the community, which has been torn apart by a recent tragedy. But not everyone is open to his approach, and Daniel soon learns the hard way that following the road to salvation can also lead one astray.

Inspired by true events, this Polish drama is a remarkable tale of morality and redemption. Nominated in the Best International Film category at the Oscars in 2020, the film also won 11 Polish Academy Awards, including Best Film.
