Padre Greg (Linus Roache) é enviado para trabalhar em uma paróquia em Liverpool. Ele fica surpreso ao ver que seu novo superior, padre Matthew (Tom Wilkinson), não cumpre o celibato, mantendo um relacionamento com uma mulher. Este é apenas o primeiro fator que fará com que Greg entre em conflito e questione algumas regras da Igreja. Um segundo fator é a descoberta da própria homossexualidade, quando se apaixona por um rapaz (Robert Carlyle). Mas o que mais o tortura é quando uma menina de 14 anos lhe conta que sofre abusos por parte do pai, mas Greg está de mãos atadas pelo sigilo da confissão. Dividido entre sua vocação e sua sexualidade, entre as regras da Igreja e os problemas que testemunha, Greg teme ter sua fé abalada. O filme foi proibido pela Igreja Católica.

Aloysius
Ken Loach's first production for ITV, shown under the 'Sunday Night Theatre' strand (originally broadcast 18th July 1971). After a Lifetime is something of a neglected, social realist masterpiece that focuses on two brothers, brought together by the death of their father, reflecting on his life of militancy and political activism. At the time critic Nancy Banks Smith called it ‘brilliantly funny, and moving with a sort of subterranean rage’. Smith himself plays the older brother with a brilliant, raw emotion.
Ken Loach production for The Wednesday Play; a fictionalised account of the Pilkingtons Glass strike in St Helens, 1970.
