| Summary: | This documentary about retired Society of Divine Word priests shows the present issues and problems confronting the retired and sick priests in Villa Cristo Rey, a retirement and nursing home for SVD bishops, priests, and brothers located inside the Christ the King Mission Seminary, Quezon City (VCR @ 20,7).
