NotesB/W A slow, deep, meditative examination of spirituality. A young priest in his first parish works and thinks hard to understand and uplift his parishioners. He lives on bread and wine which is all his body will accept. When his health deteriorates he finds he has stomach cancer. Heavy going for some, a breath of fresh air for others. From the novel by Georges Bernanos
