Dark and gritty.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Jakob, Dominik and Oliver are best friends, they play soccer and work as priests. They are united in their belief that the catholic church can make the world a better place. But when Dominik is confronted with allegations that he abused a boy, Jakob's world collapses. Torn between his beliefs and the friendship to Dominik, he's committed to finding the truth.
