‘Peter and Vandy’ is a love story told out of order.[/center]

Based upon Sir James M. Barrie's 1904 play about the boy who refuses to grow up, the film begins in the London nursery of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling, where three children are visited by Peter Pan. With the help of his tiny friend, the fairy Tinkerbell, Peter takes the three children on a magical flight to Never Land. This enchanted island is home to Peter, Tink, the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily and her Native American nation, and the scheming Captain Hook who is as intent on defeating Peter Pan as he is from escaping the tick-tocking crocodile that once ate a hand of his that Peter Pan cut off--and loved the taste of so much.

Early Christianity faced powerful obstacles. The might of the Roman Empire and the power politics of ancient Jerusalem laid a heavy burden on those who believed Jesus was the Messiah. But this new faith would not die. In a brief span of time, the fledgling religion would transcend its origins in the provinces of Rome and absorb the capital of the empire itself.

Saint Peter, a reluctant but passionate leader, from the crucifixion of Jesus to his own. The film s first half dramatizes the New Testament s Acts : early fear, the renewal of Pentecost, Saul s conversion, the decision to baptize pagans, and the Apostles dispersal. In the second half, an aged Peter goes to Rome to join Paul, arriving on the day of Paul s arrest. Paul s death brings a crisis to Rome s Christians and to Peter; lessons from Jesus s teachings guide his decision to stay. Events within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, capture the upheaval that Christian teachings bring to the Eternal City.
