Father Lajos Butsy has been the chaplain at the Sopronkőhida Prison for seven years. When he was ordained, he chose a verse from the Book of Isaiah as a directive for his future: “The Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound”. The documentary follows the daily life of a tireless priest at work and in private, and presents the viewers with a complex and charismatic personality.
