- Summary:
- Agnus Dei is a courageous documentary on the thorny subject of pedophilia in the Catholic Church. As an 11 - year - old altar boy, Jesús, now 26, was abused by a priest. After years of silence, he decides not only to bring criminal charges against his aggressor, but to confront him in the flesh. This is the story of Jesús's journey, a mandatory hiatus on the road to forgiveness. Jesús is torn between brotherly love and anger toward his sexual predator in this film full of nuances that gives a name and a face to a problem stigmatized by silence.
