This film looks at the biblical account of Noah’s flood from an unexpected angle: the viewpoint of one of Noah’s three daughters-in-law. Viewers follow the wife of Shem (who is not named in Scripture) as she writes down for her children her memories of the pre-flood world, the ark voyage, and the new world after the flood. This historical drama brings the flood account to life in a new way.
