Synopsis
In 1952, a Bishop visiting a prison to hear inmates' confession, is taken hostage. One inmate, in particular, takes the Bishop back to a time, 40 years earlier, when the two men were friends and had shared homosexual feelings and first experiences in 1912. The Bishop, subsequently, is horrified to recognize that his past has caught up to him with the advent of this confessional by the prisoners.
