It’s 1981 and the penitents of Toulon Cathedral rattle through their sins. In return, a disembodied voice from the other side of the confessional’s impenetrable grille gives a penance, and the newly absolved parishioners vanish, heading back to the office before the end of lunch. None of the people in the queue for confession would have given a thought to find out who was behind the grille, and even if they had, it would have made them none the wiser.
