Description

The film opens with scenes from the Divine Rulership District Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses, which is taking place in a football stadium. We see speakers on the stage, and people in biblical dress put on a performance. We later see people being baptised, and people making food in a marquis. We see scenery filmed while on holiday, and horses running in a field. There are caravans parked near the field and musicians play drums and guitar. A policeman arrives to investigate. We then see more musicians playing together in a band while others sit around watching. There follow scenes of children playing in the garden on a swing, and in the communal grass area on their housing estate, one of the little girls has a patch on her eye. They play fetch with a dog too. Inside the house a small child watches television. We see brief scenes from a wedding, guests arrive and pose for photos outside the church. The film ends with a play fight between two boys who throw realistic pretend punches.
