But his little world is threatened by violent outside forces, by a re-emerging autocracy whose corruption and covert dealings won’t allow him to do his job properly.

El soborno del cielo (2016)

In the Colombian film El soborno del cielo a clash of cultures unfolds between the ideals of a haughty and old-fashioned priest and the real-life problems his parishioners are faced with.

This satire is very enjoyable, despite a slow pace and some minor weaknesses in the writing.
