The Other Side of Heaven

This one really wants to be *The Year of Living Dangerously* with more faith. A young Mormon leaves Idaho for Tonga in the 1950s to serve as a missionary, communicating with his sweetheart via letter. It's a sincere film about overcoming adversity, told with a distinct lack of subtlety.
