The story opens with the river baptism of short-haired Amish teens wearing white pajamas and goes downhill from there.
It seems as though the writers grabbed bits and pieces from various religions - or bad movies about various religions - and smushed them together. There's a church with fixed pews, men and women sitting together and singing "Onward Christian Soldiers".
And shunning ... this may be imposed by the church against those who violate the promises made when they are baptized. No baptism, no shunning.
I'd love to know where the money came for this trip from Pennsyvania to LA - air fare, very nice accommodations with pool, apparently unlimited spending money.
All in all, a really bad film. To be avoided except as a giggle.
