Synopsis

When 13-year-old seminarian Sacramento Santos joins a new order, Los Cruzados de Cristo, he hopes to rise through its three levels of obedience: 1. imperfect obedience, 2. imperfect obedience of the second degree, and finally 3. Perfect Obedience. But this progression proves to be more than just a spiritual journey. Sacramento is adopted by the order's founding father, Ángel de la Cruz, and over the course the year in which they live together, they fall in love and surrender to the most intense, blissful, and contradictory episode of their lives. Years later, older and wiser, Sacramento leaves the order regretting that episode, and he decides to seek justice from his old tutor.
