Description
Brand: A pastor returns to his ancestral home to find the villagers on the verge of starvation. He believes ministering to these poor people to be his calling. Over the course of time, however, he faces many difficult choices. The decisions he makes, based on his stark and idealist view of morality, have dire consequences for all the people he touches and, ultimately, for his own embattled soul.
