THE PASSION OF MARIAN

MĘCZEŃSTWO MARIANA

It is a story of a young, unemployed catechist who leaves a big city for a province to take a job at a school. This escape is to change his unsuccessful life. Unfortunately, he is accused of child abuse there, and while trying to defend himself, he faces a choice he has not expected. The reality becomes grotesque and malicious. Only one thing can save him from oppression…
