• Plot: Adam is a Catholic priest who discovered his calling as a servant of God at the; relatively late age of 21. He now lives in a village in rural Poland where he works; with teenagers with behavioral problems.; He declines the advances of a young blonde named Ewa, saying he is already; spoken for. However, celibacy is not the only reason for his rejection. Adam; knows that he desires men and that his embrace of the priesthood has been a; flight from his own sexuality. When he meets Lukasz, the strange and taciturn son; of a simple rural family, Adam's self-imposed abstinence becomes a heavy; burden.; Malgoska Szumowska’s film, charged with striking imagery from Christ’s Passion,; dares to broach the still taboo topic of homosexuality in the priesthood.; Confronted with his “forbidden” desires, her protagonist experiences both; moments of bliss and utter despair. In the Name Of is a film about confused; emotions, repression and loneliness – and the possibility of perhaps finding; oneself after all.
