Father Adam (Andrzej Chyra) takes over a new parish and organizes a center for socially maladjusted youth. He quickly convinces people with energy, charisma and openness. Friendship with a local outsider (played by Mateusz Kościukiewicz) will force the priest to face his own problems, from which he once escaped into the clergy.[3]
