A TV-series that tries to answer why certain young people withdraw into a religious life away from their normal environment. The journalist, Annemie Struyf, travels the world to find Flemish people who have made a radical change of life. For weeks she lives along with monks and nuns, gurus and healers, fundamentalists and fanatics. Travelling through the great world religions, she discovers one great truth. That nothing is what it appears to be. In Japan, she visits Buddhist monk, Jan, who begs for his daily food. She lives with the nuns in a Trappist convent in Flanders where she is filmed as a rare exception to their rule. In Israel she meets up with Toon who has converted to Judaism and who lives in a commune with other Dutch speakers. In Bali she finds out why a successful business woman leaves everything behind for an ashram and she wears the veil to find out why more and more Flemish women convert to Islam.
