科瑞妮父母之间不断的争吵让她无法在这个家里待下去,所以科瑞妮走到了伊桑·米勒的儿童合唱团中。不久之后,科瑞妮怀了孕,匆匆忙忙地和伊桑结了婚。后来,她的女儿降生到这个世界上,一家人倒也生活得安静和平稳。一场潜在的事故被及时终止,他们的女儿保住了自己的性命,科瑞妮夫妇俩觉得这是牧师在显灵,于是便加入了当地的基要主义者组成的小圈子里。
时间到了1960年代,各种各样新鲜的事物涌入了这个小镇。文化的冲击和女权主义的兴起搅乱了科瑞妮和伊桑的生活。于此同时,科瑞妮最好的女性朋友又给了她无微不至的关怀与照顾--这种体验她从来没有在伊桑的身上获得。于是,对婚姻的不满以及埋怨三个孩子占用了她太多时间的抱怨便一点一点地发泄了出来。她开始怀疑身边的宗教信仰、她开始抗争,她要尝试着去理解自己所信奉的宗教的意义……[1]

在这部处女作里,维拉·法梅加用自己过人的才华诠释了“寻找信仰”的意义,并用自己过人的演技将其展现在了大银幕之上。
——《好莱坞报道》
无论是有无信仰、无论你信仰什么,观赏维拉·法梅加的这部电影都是件惬意的事情。因为她没有在影片中谈论信仰本身,而是要我们去追寻“心的方向”。
——《综艺》
