Abner Hale, a rigid and humorless New England missionary, marries the beautiful Jerusha Bromley and takes her to the exotic island kingdom of Hawaii, intent on converting the natives. But the clash between the two cultures is too great and instead of understanding there comes tragedy.

VIBE

A sweeping, romantic epic that contrasts stark Puritanical faith with the vibrant spirit of ancient Hawaii. It's a visually lush, yet ultimately tragic, exploration of love and cultural collision.
