Film Description: "Montreal, 1959. Twelve-year-old Léonie meets Father Malachy and falls instantly in love. A dreamy loner, she has taken refuge in piety to escape difficult family circumstances. Sister Cécile has also fallen for Father Malachy but neither knows how to manage this forbidden attraction. One day, Léonie finds them together in an act of chaste intimacy, which fills her with pain and confusion. She confesses to the vicar who alerts the mother superior. When Sister Cécile and Father Malachy are sent away, Léonie loses both her first friend and her first love. Montreal, 2010. Now a successful television journalist, Léonie receives a package containing her childhood diary. Retracing Sister Cécile, to ask her forgiveness for the betrayal long ago, Léonie reunites Cécile and Father Malachy for the first time in 50 years." -- Telefilm Canada (source) |

"Explorant les notions d'engagement, de don de soi, de foi, de doute, de pardon, de chasteté et de pureté des sentiments, la cinéaste [Micheline Lanctôt] offre une oeuvre sensible [Pour l'amour de Dieu], sans mièvrerie et résolument touchante sur les défis de la vie religieuse et sur les tourments du premier véritable amour."
-- Valérie Lessard
