Film odlikuje spretna uporaba tehnik opazovalnega dokumentarca, s katerimi režiserka več let spremlja junakinjo, ko polna ljubezni in predanosti premaguje težave iz preteklosti in sedanjosti, od spolne zlorabe v otroštvu do težav materinstva in poklicnih krivic, ki jih doživlja kot evangeličanska duhovnica. Poglobljeno pokaže, kako se duhovnica Jana pogumno upre družbenim pričakovanjem in cerkvenim dogmam, gre proti toku in se postopoma prelevi v junakinjo, ki se postavi zase.
