Strangely I did not feel that faith was a central element of this movie
It is very present grant you but not central. The consequences of our actions that is what the movie is concerned about. Good actions may have unintended bad effects and good actions may have good effectsbut not the intended ones.
How do we deal with very bad things that happen after we have endeavored to do a good deed? (The doctor helps a woman and her child who eventually get kill by a violent partner who also kills himself.) Sometimes, in a mysterious secret way the good we pray for might happen but for somebody else. (The young man wants to save his grandmother but eventuallyunknowinglysaves the doctor's life.) Sure the meeting between the two main actors is contrived, sure at the end the priest's answers sound affected, but nowhere else will you see such important questions handled in such a heartfelt manner.
