TÓSIGO

Heat Spell
A hot summer day. A half-unpacked house. A mother who needs room to breathe, and a child who needs space to truly exist. As the afternoon heat turns oppressive, time seems to move entirely differently for each person.

The Crucifix Of Destiny
Paul Drummond is adopted into a Franciscan Mission in California. Becoming of age, he believes he has a call to the priesthood. While at Theological Seminary, he becomes doubtful of his future and on the advice of his old Confessor he decides to become a physician. His roommate at college cherishes a little Crucifix given him by his mother. This Crucifix figures in the drama of events that finally convince Paul that the priesthood is his true calling.
