This film of the National Film Board follows the struggle by the young residents of a Roman Catholic orphanage to escape their nightmare of physical and sexual abuse. Their cries for help go unheeded, although a concerned janitor and a no-nonsense cop try to uncover the truth and end the boys' suffering. For years, church officials, the police and government officials conspire to conceal the truth.

OBS

Ce film de fiction de l'Office national du film relate les sévices sexuels subis par un jeune pensionnaire de l'orphelinat St. Vincent de la part du frère directeur de l'établissement, dont il est le «préféré». Comme Kevin, d'autres élèves sont soumis au même régime de domination. Mais comment se protéger contre de tels abus, quand au terrorisme de leur bourreau vient s'ajouter la conspiration du silence de la part des autorités tant ecclésiastiques que politiques?
