It's a road movie that traverses America geographically and through America's '60s culture; from a depraved rich man in LA to a farmer in the West to a hippie and alcoholic lawyer (after the politician) leaving the city , until the decadent Southern Catholic district and struggling prostitutes.
These cultures are full of oppositions: white billionaires and immigrant drug dealers, traditional western pioneers and beats, politicians and societies they don't believe in, Catholicism and prostitutes. Yet Christianity is embedded in every culture from beginning to end, from the prayer before a hearty lunch on a wealthy farm to the images of Jesus and the Virgin who have nowhere to hide while drinking drugs with prostitutes in the cemetery; this seems to tell us how much more Western culture can No matter how you grow and change, you cannot escape the root of Christianity.
But is what we believe in the truth?
Just like a mirror has two sides, inside and outside, on the other side, this so-called belief has long been integrated with those separated cultures, or there is no belief at all, it is just a lie of self-hypnosis and letting oneself live.
