Inhalt: In dem Film geht es um religiös-historisches Erbe. Die Regisseurin ist eine Nachfahrin der französischen Hugenotten und eine englische Protestantin, die nach Südafrika ausgewandert ist und eine atheistische, abtrünnige Agnostikerin geworden ist. Im Film konfrontiert sie ihre gegensätzlichen Reaktionen vor diesen geerbten evangelischen Hintergrund.
