On the eve of Easter, a fading churchman confronts illness, memory, and the thin line between reverence and regret. Around him unfold spare, luminous portraits—clerks trapped by routine, lovers at crossroads, peasants wrestling with duty—each story turning on a small, piercing moment when life tilts and truth slips through: quiet, humane, and unforgettable.
