Synopsis
In the Name of... (W imię..., 2013) is a Polish drama from Małgorzata Szumowska you can watch online on iFILM. Father Adam runs a parish in the countryside and works with troubled teenage boys nobody else can reach.
He's good at the job and his parishioners adore him, but he carries something he never says aloud: he's drawn to men, and the priesthood was partly a place to hide from himself. When a quiet local young man named Łukasz drifts into his orbit, the defenses Adam built over years begin to crack. Andrzej Chyra plays it almost wordlessly — in glances, pauses and held breath.
Szumowska films without sermon or cheap scandal, letting her camera linger in misty fields and leaving you to decide who's right. The film took the Teddy Award at the Berlinale for best queer cinema. Slow, honest filmmaking for anyone ready to sit with faith and loneliness rather than melodrama. Stream In the Name of... online on iFILM.
