The fictional Father Ángel de la Cruz is based on Legion of Christ founder Marcial Maciel, whose long history of child abuse was not addressed until 2006 and only publicly acknowledged in 2009. But director Luis Urquiza chooses to structure his film through the largely uncomprehending, wondering eyes of 13-year-old Julián, who travels from the arms of his loving pastoral family into the austere, hallowed halls of the seminary. Singling out the boy as his intimate disciple, installing him in his palatial private quarters and redubbing him “Sacramento Santos,” Father Ángel begins Julian’s instruction into the mysteries of “perfect obedience,” whose cardinal rule is: Never question a superior’s actions.

This was about a priest in Mexico who abused the boys in his congregation. I have to say that for the subject they handled the camera angles well so the cringe factor was down, but you still had an idea of what was going on. They started with the ending and the whole movie was a flashback, but at the beginning you didn't know who the characters were, I think it would have been better if the beginning was a flash forward.
