Plots(1)
Seventeen-year-old Jem Starling struggles to define her place within her fundamentalist Christian community in rural Kentucky. Even her greatest joy — the church dance group — is tempered by worry that her love of dance is actually sinful, and she’s caught between a burgeoning awareness of her own sexuality and an instinctive resistance to her mom’s insistence that the time has come to begin courting. She finds respite from her confusion in the encouragement of her youth pastor Owen, who is likewise drawn to the blossoming Jem’s attention. (Sundance Film Festival)

Religious communities bordering on sectarianism, denial of one's own identity, arranged marriages, suppression of interests, hypocrisy, perfidy – fertile ground for a very solid drama.
