I recently watched the Polish adaptation of the same novel by Timo Mukka. This one is much less Catholic in the story and it made for a big difference in the concept of sin.
Having been raised in the Catholic tradition, I am quite aware of the rules of the game, especially what we were taught in regards to sins of the flesh.
This time around, instead of a local priest, the main player is a cantor at the village church where the residents do a lot of finger pointing at the suspected sinners.
A widowed mother and daughter are helped by a handyman with a well deserved reputation as a ladies man. He manages to get busy with both of them and it does not end well.
