Ethan Brown

"Christian" is a heartwarming and humorous film that takes a closer look at faith, sexuality, and personal struggles. I was moved by the story of Cristiano, a young man who wants to become a Catholic priest but faces an unexpected obstacle. The film tackles sensitive topics with compassion and a good dose of laughter, thanks to the delightful performance of Avelino, the unconventional priest who will challenge Cristiano's beliefs and prejudices. The film will leave you with a smile and a renewed appreciation for the complexities of human nature.
