Synopsis: In 1936, a young Dutch physician goes to the island of Java to work with lepers under the guidance of an old specialist. Based on the novel "Gods geuzen" by Jan de Hartog (1st ed. 1947).

Appraisal: Fairly adventurous and entertaining medical drama which delves into philosophical and psychological questions about faith. It is uniformly well acted.

Rating: 52
