Viewers who see this short might see it as an attack on people of faith. While this may or may not have been the goal of the film makers (heck, I'm not a mind reader), there's a lot to this story--and I know a guy who went through something a lot like this.
The film begins with a street evangelist standing on the corner in a seedy neighborhood handing out tracts. Across the street is a prostitute and the young preacher seems to keep noticing her. Later, you see them in a car together but it isn't sex that's about to occur--the evangelist has paid her to sit and listen to him witness to her. It's obvious she wants nothing to do with him, as once time is up, she grabs the money and runs. Later, however, you see that when this happens again, she's less quick to run AND he seems to have some interest in her beyond just evangelism. While exactly where this eventually leads is NOT shown in the film, it sure does make you think and wonder what might happen next! Exceptional writing and direction--this story is told in a clever fashion and is far from conventional. I like a movie like this that dares to be different.
