Reverend James tries to keep his home his home in good order, however his daughter, Rebecca is a thorn in his side. He believes that her seemingly wayward behaviour is putting his position in jeopardy while at the same time she seeks freedom from what she considers to be his“rudimentary religious beliefs.” At the beginning of the movie we see Rebecca scaling the compound wall after returning home late one night after being out with a man.

We see further evidence of the behaviour that her father is concerned about when she causes a commotion at church one day. She arrives at choir practise late, chewing gum and nonchalantly taking position in the front row. She knows the rule that late comers must take their place in the back row but she shows disrespect for the entire choir. When confronted about this behaviour a huge argument breaks out with Rebecca declaring,

“Oya some and move me from this seat… and you will tell me if this dad owns your church or mine? Non-sense.”

She has a clear disregard for the rules thinking herself above them because of who her father is.

Reverend James is not the only man of god having problems in his family life. These issues are spread across all the men of god and in this movie great hypocrisy, lack of compassion and immoral behaviour is unearthed amongst both church members and church officials.
