Title

The Seminarian

Taglines

Overview

Italy, 1959. A ten-year-old boy called Guido enters a Catholic seminary, fascinated by the idea of becoming a priest. He quickly understands that in order to be a good seminarian he has to submit to an ascetic and unnatural training, consisting in mortification of the flesh, obsession with sin and repression of one's sexual instincts and desires. Guido finds himself up against a deeply hierarchical system, where strict observance of rules and blind obedience to superiors are taught. A system in which thinking for oneself is forbidden.

Title

Il Seminarista

Taglines

Overview

Toscana, 1959. Guido è un bambino di dieci anni quando entra in seminario, affascinato dal sogno di diventare prete. Il mondo che incontra però è ben diverso da quello che immaginava: dentro al seminario occorre piegarsi a un'educazione innaturale, fatta di disprezzo per il corso, ossessione del peccato, repressione di istinti e sentimenti e ingiustizie nei confronti dei più deboli. Una serie di vicende lo porteranno, a diciotto anni, a rimettere in discussione il suo sogno e il concetto di religione a cui si è ritrovato a far fronte.
