The Altar Boys

Frustrated with the indifferent attitude of adults and Church institutions towards social injustice, a group of teenage altar boys decides to implement their own untypical plan of moral renewal. Armed with their teenage rebellion and their own interpretation of the Holy Scripture they wire… a confessional to get to know their neighbours better. Masked like Zorro and as ambitious as Robin Hood, they become judges in their area: they help those in need and punish those who sinned. However, their mission turns into a dangerous game and as they apply their own idealistic code of honour the boys start treading a fine line between good and evil. The real life of the neighbourhood is mixed with a mission straight from comic books about superheroes, only the heroes do not wear capes but surplices.
