“Sinner. Preacher. A Mystery.”

Drama

A pious 20-year-old juvenile delinquent is sent to work at a sawmill in a small town; on arrival, he dresses up as a priest and accidentally takes over the local parish. The arrival of this young, charismatic preacher is an opportunity for the local community to begin the healing process after a tragedy that happened a year prior.

VIBE

A deeply affecting, spiritual drama that grapples with faith and deception in a small town. It's a raw, character-driven exploration of redemption and the search for belonging, feeling both intense and profoundly human.
