Miss Helen is a widow who lives alone. Inspired by a vision she has decorated the walls of her home with broken glass which creates beautiful and calming effects while reflecting the candle light that she prefers. Outside in the garden she has created a world of cement sculptures of wise men, camels and owls all facing east towards Mecca.This behaviour has alienated her from the conservative, Calvinist church whose local congregation views her with suspicion. She befriends Elsa, a young teacher from Cape Town. One night, Helen burns herself. Fearing for her safety, Elsa comes to visit. At the same time, the local pastor, Marius Byleveld, comes to help Helen apply for the local Old Age home. He is secretly in love with her and fears for her "idolatry" and her exile from the church. However, with Elsa?s help, she decides to stay in her home. - Wikipedia
