'In the Name Of' launches 2014-15 Around the World film series Sep. 3
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society, Lewes Public Library and Movies at Midway launch the 2014-15 Around the World series with the film “In The Name Of." This Polish drama will be presented at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 3, in the upstairs screening room at Movies at Midway.
The Around the World film series presents critically acclaimed, international, independent films. The generous sponsorship of Movies at Midway allows the screenings to be free and open to the public.
Adam is a Catholic priest who discovered his calling as a servant of God at the relatively late age of 21. He now lives in a village in rural Poland where he works with troubled teens. He declines the advances of a young woman, saying he is already spoken for; however, celibacy is not the only reason for his rejection.
Adam knows that he desires men and that his embrace of the priesthood has been a flight from his own sexuality. When he meets Lukasz, the strange and aloof son of a simple rural family, Adam's self-imposed abstinence becomes a heavy burden.
