Mormon elder John Groberg wrote a memoir titled "In the Eye of the Storm" about his experiences doing missionary work in 1950s Tonga, and this film is inspired by his book.

After experiencing some difficulties, John finally reaches Tonga, where he encounters beautiful tropical island scenery and exotic Polynesian people. While serving his church mission, John must deal with a series of challenges, including a typhoon, and he doesn't get much help, except from a local named Feki (Joe Folau). Meanwhile, John writes letters to his sweetheart back home and hopes she will wait for him.

"Secretary" (2002)

Tagline: "Assume the position."

Length: 104 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for strong sexuality, some nudity, depiction of behavioral disorders, and language

James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal star in this offbeat movie about sadism and masochism. Spader portrays E. Edward Grey, a domineering attorney who has trouble keeping a secretary. Gyllenhaal plays Lee Holloway, a young woman with a history of self-mutilation. After Lee is treated at a mental institution, Grey hires her as his secretary. She also has a romantic relationship with an emotionally fragile young man named Peter (Jeremy Davies). But soon Grey and Lee are enjoying some rather mild on-the-job S&M, consisting of role-playing, spanking, and the like. Lee's self-esteem begins to improve (!), and when she and Grey start to fall for each other, she must make some major decisions. The film is mostly upbeat and has a happy ending, so it could be classified as a romantic comedy.
