Paul, a 12-year-old lonely boy, lives with his mother at the mental institution where she works since his father abandoned them years ago. When Gloria, a troubled and fascinating teenage girl, arrives at the institution, Paul immediately falls in love with her. So madly in love that, despite her dangerousness, he will run away with her to help her reach a place she calls the „haven of peace“. „Adoration“ is a cruel and poetic tale about love, madness and faith.
