Overview

Chair of Confession is a gripping Arabic moral drama starring Yusuf Wehbe as Cardinal Giovanni, a man of faith thrust into an impossible dilemma. When a man named Estonzzi confesses to murder in the Cardinal's confessional and then vanishes, the authorities arrest his innocent brother Juliano for the crime. Cardinal Giovanni is caught between his absolute religious duty to preserve the seal of confession and his human conscience that demands he speak to save an innocent man. Yusuf Wehbe delivers a towering performance as a cleric torn apart from within, in a film that asks whether divine law and human justice can ever truly be reconciled.
