Gates of the Lamb

Man at the gates of eternity. Water flows from a small pitcher. The Jordan River consumes death, as it consumes life. A small oil-cross placed on the forehead of a new-born, the scent of God, and a candle lit to show the road when the night is at its darkest. This is a film about the unseen miracle of Baptism and the inexplicable touch of God.
