Flyway Film Festival 2009

Rachel and Mary are 18 year old members of a strict conservative Laestadian community. Mary is wild and temperamental. Rachel is controlled and sensitive. In the home community it is forbidden to drink alcohol, watch movies or TV, wear make-up, listen to music, have premarital sex, or even just one simple kiss. These restrictions push Mary to escape the community, and explore the outside world. Rachel is sent to shadow and protect her. When the material and flesh oriented worlds clash with the innocence of the young girls they begin to explore the questions of morals, social values, love, friendship and makiing choices between God and one's own desires.
