From the first frame of the film you know that this will be a good movie. Don't get fooled by the title, this is not a movie about religion or church, it's about people that run religion, people that take advantage on religion and people that want to become part of religion. It's sprinkled with sex, alcohol and other deeds that a young man who aspire to become an orthodox priest should stay away from, but let's not spoil it too much.
There are a lot of great characters played by young skillful actors, but on top of them all sits the Vlad Ivanov who delivers a great performance and manages to take this movie to another level and proves again that he is one of the best romanian actors.
I recommend this movie especially to non-romanian people. It's a good peep hole to romanian church, corruption and culture, even more because it's inspired by a true story.
