Storyline
Two missionaries are sent far from the world they know and arrive in a village that challenges every belief they bring with them. Their well-meaning attempts to guide the community spiral into misunderstandings, shifting alliances and questions neither was trained to answer. Themes of faith, identity and expectation sit beneath the chaos as both try to redefine their mission. Their choices push them toward a revelation they never saw coming, but the outcome is anything but certain.
