Featured review
Very nice glimpse to a reversed missionaries daily life.
This beautiful documentary shows a glimpse into the life of a missionary that has been in Sweden so long he has forgot about the life he lived in his native India. And only imagining there are Catholic priests in India is quite an interesting idea to begin with. The filmmaker have managed to follow the priest through a difficult time in both Sweden and India and offer the viewer a very nice insight to what it is like to work in a quite secular country. In contrast to India the priest finds himself stuck in a lot of administrative work while his main ambition is to offer his spiritual self to his parish. I truly recommend this film to anyone curious about the subject matter.
