An improvisation on the story of Flanner O'Connor.

The film takes place in America in the 30s-50s. Mr. Sheppard, a local preacher, takes Rufus, a lame, difficult teenager on bail. Together they go on a educative journey to the mountains. Along the way, Rufus repeatedly quotes the Bible, intimidates 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.
