Father Michael McKinnon goes from the UK to Boston circa 1935. For unknown reasons, he avoids at all costs the most prominent parishioners, Arthur and Eleanor Barret. Meanwhile Eleanor and Arthur desperately want to have a child, but Arthur is sterile, so they hire Harvard law student Roger Martin to impregnate Eleanor, but unfortunately Roger falls in love with her.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, morally complex chamber piece about desire and faith colliding in 1930s Boston. The film moves with deliberate restraint, building emotional weight through what is left unsaid rather than dramatized.
