This story is, as the title suggests, about Heaven. A woman, who is experiencing much emotional pain, partly as a result of marital conflicts, commits suicide. Some time later her husband joins her in Heaven. She tells him she had lost her mind which is why she took her own life. This is obviously controversial, but Heaven is seen as a place to pursue and the woman is portrayed as indeed having lost her mind. Jesus greets her husband in Heaven in this film. We do not believe the filmmakers mean to suggest suicide as a way out of problems, but they were focusing on the fact that there is no pain in Heaven. Obviously, due to the mature theme, we recommend this film for ages twelve plus and we recommend that viewers check out the content listing in helping in the decision to view this film. We award our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal to this DVD as it encourages giving spiritual matters much thought.
