Synopsis

The themes of the movie are compassion and mercy. The movie weaves two stories together to illustrate these themes. The first take place in the current day and concerns a mishap that occurs on the way to a concert. The second, set in ancient Israel, is based directly on the Biblical story of Jonah. Through both stories viewers learn that they must be compassionate and merciful and that all people deserve a second chance.
