Black comedy about whether a priest will raise a neo-Nazi, or a neo-Nazi will raise a priest… Father Ivan sees only the good in everything and has no doubt that God is with him. Therefore, it is not a problem for him to provide a refuge in his rectory for persons serving an alternative sentence as well as persons looking purely for support and comfort. A very peculiar company gathers here: a terrorist seeking justice, a pregnant alcoholic, a fat kleptomaniac. In addition, another resident soon arrives – the neo-Nazi Adam. However, Ivan’s speeches do not apply to him. Something isn’t right here, and it’s not just the strange rules that rule the microworld of the parsonage. Ivan distorts many facts apparently in order to be able to withstand the weight of his own fate. And Adam decides to confess the true state of things to the pastor – to see evil and admit that the one who is after Ivan is not Satan, but God himself.
