Grappling with his lustful fantasies and impure thoughts about the curvy wife of an elderly general, a tormented young priest, who has taken a vow of celibacy, finds himself unable to suppress his fervent, almost morbid passion. And, hopelessly obsessed with the unattainable object of his desire, more and more, the delusional man of the cloth succumbs to his complex, feverish hallucinations. Now, there is no place to hide. Can the clergyman escape from his inner demons?
