Synopsis

Set in a Québec prison in 1952, a bishop is summoned by inmates under the pretense of hearing a last confession. Instead, the prisoners force him to watch a re-enactment of a tragedy from 40 years prior, in which a forbidden love between two young men, Simon and Vallier, was brutally destroyed. As the story unfolds, a gay love triangle emerges, revealing that the bishop's own jealous interference led to the death of a young man many years ago
