Reviewers found this somewhat surreal film so visually stunning as to be worth watching even when it was not clear to them what was going on. In the story, Jozef Schrevek is a man with unusual powers which he wishes to pass on to his son before his death, which is coming soon. Unfortunately, his son is much more interested in boozing and womanizing and being a well-known habitué of nightclubs, than in taking his father seriously and receiving his powers and the responsibilities which come along with them. The tension between the two escalates when a young woman enters their lives.

The answer became clear when UNC-TV approached the group in 2012 with its offer to help the Raleigh Ringers produce a sequel to the ensemble's critically-acclaimed "One Winter Evening at Meymandi." The PBS special, "Holiday Handbells," was produced from this DVD and now airs nationally each year.
