Four ageing men live together in a secluded house on a windswept Chilean coastline. Each has been sent there to purge sins of the past, adhering to a strict regime under the watchful eye of a female caretaker. This fragile stability is disrupted by the arrival of a newly disgraced companion bringing with him the past they thought they had left behind... In this multi-award-winning feature, Oscar-nominated director Pablo Larrain explores the lives of priests who have been disgraced for crimes both proven and suspected, and the moral impasse of the Catholic Church... that must both contain and protect them. Featuring compelling performances from Alfredo Castro, Roberto Farias and Antonia Zegers, this is an unflinching yet compassionate portrayal of an ordered world unexpectedly under siege.

Chilean drama from film-maker Pablo Larraín, set in a small coastal town. Four aged Catholic priests live in exile under the watchful eye of a nun, Sister Monica (Antonia Zegers). Father Vidal (Alfredo Castro), Father Ortega (Alejandro Goic), Father Silva (Jaime Vadell) and Father Ramirez (Alejandro Sieveking) are here to serve time repenting an array of indecent acts from child abuse to abducting children. The arrival of a fifth disgraced priest, Father Lazcano (Jose Soza), disrupts the idyllic retreat. Local fisherman Sandokan (Roberto Farías), who suffered at the hands of Lazcano, recognises him and informs the rest of the unsuspecting village. The aggression and violence this causes necessitates the dispatching of a crisis counsellor, Father Garcia (Marcelo Alonso).
