In this belated sequel to 'Lilies of the Field' (1963), jack-of-all-trades Homer Smith revisits the chapel in the Arizona desert that he helped build for five German nuns under the supervision of Mother Maria, and he reluctantly helps them out of a pinch once more.

In a world obsessed with appearances and social validation, 'Pretendian' challenges our perception of identity and raises important questions about cultural appropriation and the consequences of our actions.
