Mathias, a married man who recently relocated to a new town, reluctantly agrees to serve as a volunteer choirmaster. On his first day, he meets with Lucius, a surgeon who sleeps in the back pew, like something quietly permitted there. In the quietude of small chapel, love does not arrive loudly. As his feelings grow, Mathias must unlearn the old fears he carried from years of sitting in church pews.

Now conducting the small chapel choir, Mathias appears calm and untouchable, yet loneliness clings to him like a shadow.

Lucius Liu

A Devil With Gentle Hands
