Synopsis "Nowhere Boys (in English)"
What do you do when you don't know if you believe in your mission? Nineteen-year-old Ray Dorsey is foregoing college, jobs, cars, and girlfriends.But not by choice.His faith is sending him to knock on doors for two years in Southern California with the hopes of converting strangers to his religion. While his peers are discovering themselves, Ray searches for positive creative outlets in his force-fed solitary world, regularly losing himself in his own thoughts.Although Ray looks at life differently than his fellow missionaries, he clings to their common threads as young men. With only each other to communicate and commiserate with, they express frustration, laughter, competitiveness, and camaraderie. As much as they try to commit themselves, internal tensions grow as they are kept away from women, partying, and the forbidden joys of youth.Feeling drained and drowned by obligations and rules, Ray struggles to answer the questions of life that have already been answered for him. As the end of his mission nears, Ray must decide if he truly has nothing to add, if his role is only to follow and obey, or embark on his own philosophy of life where he can act confidently, knowing it is his life and he directs it.
