The film follows DoriAnn through her private bathing meditation in intimate, handheld footage. She first appears as a character far removed from mainstream audiences: a fundamentalist from an infamous polygamist community, a mother of 12 and the second wife to her younger sister's husband. The bathwater washes away the exotic labels, laying bare the universal nature of DoriAnn's struggle to balance her faith with her feminism, and her spiritual ideals with her earthly emotions. As the film unfolds, the bath becomes a baptism and DoriAnn emerges as a full-bodied woman: complex, individual and utterly human.
