- Summary:
- A group of former Christian fundamentalists gathers at a retreat center in San Francisco. Through therapy sessions, dance, and exercises in trust, the group wrestles with rediscovering meaning and a personal identity free from the fundamentalist communities they once belonged to. It becomes a collective journey filled with tears and fear. Together, they find strength in each other, but the path away from a given identity can be challenging to follow.
