In 1958 gaat Angelo, een rijke en verwende jongen, naar een religieuze school, waar de studenten de vice-rector en de strenge regels en ouderwetse lesmethoden van priesters beu zijn. Al snel oefent Angelo sterk leiderschap uit onder zijn collega's en veroorzaakt hij onrust onder hen, geholpen door de intellectuele Franco en de verlegen Camma. Ze sturen de prefect van de school, organiseren een Grand Guignol-show en verdwijnen met het lijk van een oude professor.
Nee, helaas is Nel nome del padre nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
