- Our story begins with the introduction of two female Londoners on the first leg of their 21-day journey around the world in the bicentenary year of the abolition of the slave trade act. The world of middle aged West Indians now intrudes upon the year out backpacking community and the conflict within our documentary thereby begins.
- Our story begins with the introduction of the Tottenham theologian as he embarks on a vocation in the Church of England. The world of the social climber now intrudes upon polite society and the conflict within our story thereby begins.
- The pastorate is an upper middle class church fellowship group that meets on a Tuesday and keeps the modern world at bay through social exclusion. When churchgoer Colleen Rose attends the group for the first time they immediately assume that she is working class, urban and possibly an immigrant. She is immediately drowned by a lack of introductions, making her feel redundant and unwelcome. It is the transferred anger of the group leader, Tara King, that trickles down into her members and friends, Gemma and Anna Arbuthnott. Anna is the first to offer friendship, but Tara and Gemma continue to treat her as 'the outsider in our midst'. Colleen attempts to correct their assumptions by explaining her situation, presenting them with the modern face of England. They see her for what she is: someone who is essentially friendless and in search of a society to belong to. Because of this, they remain aloof, reinforcing her isolation, virginity and innocence. At the dinner table they decide to drown her presence in intellectual conversation that, making her feel like an uneducated and untutored child. She becomes withdrawn, relegated to the stauts of an observer of life. She decides to hit back by telling them she is not going to stay in the pastorate because it is not an environment for her to grow spiritually. When they tell her to shut the door on the way out, she leaves with a fractured personality and a fragmented social life, forced to pursue a relentless search for a spiritual home.
- Whilst attending a student group at Holy Trinity Brompton and having fellowship at All Souls Langham Place, a filmmaker begins work on the title sequence of a film that he will make the following year.
- This is one of those out of the way places. An unvisited place. Hidden, rudimentary, dying. It is a Pentecostal Church hall annexed to an Anglican Church. A place without young Christians or growth. A place untouched by progress.
- Act One (The Fellowship Group) Claire Lyndsay is a member of a fellowship group in an Anglican Church in central London. The host, Nicola Butterworth, sees her completely different from how Claire sees herself, and begins to discriminate against her as a threshold guardian. Her style of speech distances Claire so that she cannot grow spiritually or socially. She manages to summon up all of her inner strength and leave the meeting abruptly. Act Two (Separation from the Fellowship Group) Claire hits rock bottom by squandering her money and finding solace at the bottom of a glass. When she returns home her flatmate, Jenny Faye, distances her by holding a house party without inviting her. Even the guests treat her as a stranger. She makes her way up to her room and retires to bed. Act Three (Reintegration back into society) Claire wakes up from what she assumes to be a bad dream. She sees Jenny and they connect with each other just as if nothing had happened. In reality, Claire did have a bad dream where she was taken into the middle ground of experiencing life as someone who is marginalised because of class and race. Having a better understanding of what it is like to be treated as an outsider, she approaches life with a renewed sense of purpose and perspective.
