English Summary:

The Other Side of Heaven is a 2001 American adventure drama film written and directed by Mitch Davis, based on John H. Groberg's non-fiction book In the Eye of the Storm. The film stars Christopher Gorham as Groberg and Anne Hathaway as Jean Groberg (née Sabin).

The film is about Groberg's experiences as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the Tongan islands in the 1950s and is based on the book that he wrote about his real experiences, In the Eye of the Storm. The film focuses on Groberg's adventurous experiences and trials while he serves as a missionary in the South Pacific. While portraying these events, the film discusses little LDS theology and focuses instead on the missionary experience.

Plot:

During the 1950s, John Groberg, (Christopher Gorham) who grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, graduates from Brigham Young University and is called on a mission to Tonga. There, he will spend two and one-half years as an Elder teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. His first adventure is just getting there, as it takes him 83 days, including a short stint in a Fiji jail.

When Elder Groberg arrives in Tonga, he is sent to a group of remote islands 800 miles (1,300 km) from the mission's home office. Before he leaves on this last leg he is assigned a companion, Tongan Feki (Joe Folau), who speaks English. However, Elder Groberg finds that his knowledge of the Tongan language is severely deficient and he studies intensely to become proficient. He also learns the culture.

Hungarian Summary:

Az 1950-es években a 19 éves John H. Groberg, elhagyja idahoi szülővárosát, hogy a távoli Tongan-szigeteken három éven keresztül mormon misszionáriusként őslakosokat kereszténységre térítsen. Szerető családját és menyasszonyát, Jeant hagyja maga mögött, akinek levelei tartják a lelket küldetése során Johnban. A fiúnak nemcsak a nyelvi akadályokkal kell megküzdenie és kiérdemelnie a bennszülöttek bizalmát, de többször kerül életveszélyes helyzetbe is, és mire végetér missziója, már más emberként látja a világot.
