By the Grace of God

Alexandre lives in Lyon with his wife and children. One day, he learns by chance that the priest who abused him when he was a boy scout is still working with children. He decides to take action and is soon joined by two other victims, François and Emmanuel. They support each other and fight together to break the silence that has fallen over their ordeal. Their resistance grows and becomes an unstoppable force. François Ozon has adapted the true events surrounding the abuse scandal in Lyon into a fictional film. VOTED BE GOD develops an emotional force that is almost impossible to escape. Stylishly and captivatingly told and awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2019 Berlin International Film Festival, VOTED BE GOD is not only a harrowing account of the failures of the Catholic Church, but also a plea for courage and solidarity.
