Buried under concrete and controversy on the outskirts of Dublin lie the remains of Ireland's 'pop star priest' - Father Michael Cleary. In 1991 as a student Alison Millar moved into his house and started filming him. Fifteen years on, using her unseen archive, this film is the story of the secret life of a man who fooled her, his family and an entire nation. The film has won an array of awards including a Prix Italia, an Irish BAFTA and Best Documentary at Boston Film Festival.
