The opportunity arises when he meets a girl that does witchcraft and challenges him to live life on his own terms. Faced with a dilemma, he is tasked to choose between two things; to be himself and follow his heart, or succumb to the whims of his overbearing father and follow in his footsteps to the priesthood.
