The film tells the story through the eyes of a young boy who has a unique experience of Jesus' presence during his first Holy Communion. The power of prayer, the issue of alcoholism in a Christian family, the mother's love and determination to save the family, and the father's conversion provide the basis for a powerful story. Most of the footage was shot in a small forgotten village in the middle of the beautiful Slovak mountains in the village of Velké Borové.
