Synopsis "The Nearly Man: A True story of a young man's striving to achieve his life's ambition. (in English)"
This is the true moving story of a young man growing up in the 1950's, of staunch Roman Catholic parents. Encouraged by family and teachers, the eleven years old holds a burning desire to become a Missionary Priest. His story unfolds against the backdrop of a Catholic Church going through massive change, yet stuck firmly in the past, with teachings and traditions going back hundreds of years. Leaving the love of his family he joins a junior seminary where he begins his progress towards becoming a priest. It describes his fears and concerns about his calling from God and his life at a boarding school. It tracks his adolescent life, desperately trying to come to terms with being a youth with normal feelings, whilst living in the unusual environment of a Monastery. It tells of his emotional turmoil and inability to make a definite decision about his future, as he becomes more and more institutionalised. It follows his time in a Scottish Monastery where he is initiated into strict Monastic ways, then moves onto a Seminary where he struggles with Monastic life, his studies and emotional relationships. Finally, illness and love are the catalysts for The Nearly Man making the decision of his lifetime.
