Io ti assolvo (2008)

Overview

A quiet provincial town is shaken by the murder of its parish priest. The young Father Francesco (Gabriel Garko), who is called to replace him, after an initial moment of calm, finds himself faced with the confession of a stranger, who admits to having killed his predecessor, threatening him not to say anything if he does not want to lose his life as well. The priest, therefore, follows the investigations of Commissioner Lariano (Lorenzo Flaherty) and, while revealing nothing, tries to prevent an innocent person from being accused of a crime they did not commit and begins to uncover the secrets of various important figures in the province. Complicating matters is the arrival of a young prostitute who resembles Father Francesco's great love before he took his vows. This is how the present and the past intertwine, amid crimes and murky discoveries.
