Father, Forgive Me

Father Paul is a twenty-eight-year-old parish priest
of a Catholic Church located in Loshin, a middle-class area of
Lagos, Nigeria. The loss of his family takes its toll
on him, and he begins to waver in his duty as a priest. One day Father Paul takes confession from the very man responsible for the murder of his family. He struggles between breaking the sacred seal of confession or fulfilling his duty as a priest. In the end, he learns that no matter how fallible he is as a human being, he is a priest with a duty to serve.
