Teenager Ariel lives a seemingly quiet life with his father and sister on their picturesque farm in a rural part of Buenos Aires. However, unbeknownst to his family, Ariel has been abused for years by Omar, his neighbourhood priest. Having confused his mistreatment for romantic affection, Ariel takes it upon himself to free himself from their relationship and soon embarks on a secret affair with one of the male workers on his father’s property. Meanwhile, as Omar continues to succumb to his urges, he forms a friendship with a much older priest who finds himself wrestling with similar desires. Defiantly unsentimental in its approach, José Celestino Campusano’s richly textured exploration of sex, power and ecclesiastical abuse in Argentine society is a complex and often confrontational piece of work, posing many tough questions without resorting to easy answers.

Ariel is an Argentinian teen who was systematically abused by a trusted family priest during his childhood and as a consequence, struggles to identify and/or appreciate any form of true love. To wit, as he grows a little older, he actively seeks some comfort from an older worker on his father’s farm that proves emotionally empty and merely services the physical needs of the worker. On the face of it, the storyline is not unfamiliar – but this film pulls no punches; it isn’t sentimental at all and addresses this (and, to some extent, the tolerance of) abusive behaviour in a challenging and forthright fashion. It isn’t an easy thing to watch, but well worth it.
