A filmmaker returns to her childhood home to attempt to reconnect to her estranged evangelical father, years after leaving the Christian faith. What will it take to reconnect?
Katy Scoggin is a filmmaker working on a new project about evolution and geologic time.
But her disagreements with her religious father, a young-earth creationist who refutes the theory of evolution, keep getting in the way.
Eventually, she packs her camera and goes home to San Bernardino, CA
to try to make amends in person.
Katy encounters her father at a pivotal moment: her sister’s family is moving across the country, and her parents are going with them.
The entire house is in upheaval, turning up home videos, children’s Bibles marked with highlighter, and photos from Katy’s experimental student days.
Confronted with her own childhood, she realizes how much the whole family’s beliefs have changed over time - except for her dad’s.
Katy is not the only one who has difficultuy relating to her father. As her parents, sister, and nephew pack their lives into boxes, their increasing tension reveals how complex inter-generational relationships can be, even when families live together so closely.
