The film reflects the intolerable dilemmas faced by members of such high-control groups when their own inner truth clashes with the imposed and constructed 'truth' indoctrinated into the members. Devotees are not encouraged to be in tune with their innermost feelings but instead are conditioned to believe that natural feelings are sinful, immoral or from an evil source and therefore what might be obvious to those on the outside looking in, is not so obvious to believers, especially children who've been raised in such groups all their lives. Once they start to have doubts, they experience inner conflict between attachment and loyalty to their parents, attachment to a belief system and then their own gut feelings and personal experience in the real world. There is always hope of reparation once one leaves the group.
