Ecaterina, a high school Religion teacher and wife of the town priest, gets involved with Iuliu, a 16 year-old pupil with a troubled past. Inspired by true events, A Higher Law follows Ecaterina’s story who, in the attempt of keeping under control both Iuliu and her family, she ends up losing her own sense of control in the process. As she faces a genuine crisis of faith, Iuliu’s infatuation turns increasingly dangerous when he starts confessing his sins to the priest.

 

OCTAV CHELARU
