An improvisation on the story of Flannery O'Connor.

The film takes place in America in the 1930s-50s. Mr Sheppard, a local preacher, takes Rufus, a lame, difficult teenager, on bail. Together they go on an educational journey to the mountains. Along the way, Rufus repeatedly quotes the Bible, intimidates the ten-year-old preacher’s son with hell, and contemptuously calls his mentor the self-proclaimed Jesus. Rufus's controversy with his mentor tragically ends up at the mountain observatory, only to be repeated decades later.
