Eeew...

No wonder christianity is falling apart...if this is anything to go by.

The writing is an abomination...and, the acting is not much better.

Sanctimonious, preachy claptrap...with a great big dollop of self-indulgence thrown in to keep you cowering away from the screen.

Abel from Jordan Carroll on Vimeo.

The(ir) Blurb...

Abandoned at birth, Abel is on a journey to find his mother. Upon finding an angelic church, he is taken in by the generous pastor, James. While secretly learning about his mothers past, Abel is thrown into a world of spirituality and love he has never experienced before. However, something in Abel brings excitement and chaos into this 'perfect' environment, causing James to rethink his beliefs as they start an unplanned love affair. Silvia strongly objects, leaving James with a choice between his love for the young man, or his love for his ministry. Ultimately she has to face the same decision when she discovers the truth about Abel.
