A Greek monk and a Russian nun devote their lives to the practices of their community, but their growing affection puts their monastic life in question. In the plains of central Greece, Byzantine monasteries are perched atop sandstone pillars, suspended between heaven and earth. A young Greek monk and a Russian nun have devoted their lives to the strict rituals and practices of their community, but a growing affection for one another puts their monastic life under question. Torn between spiritual devotion and their human desire, they must decide which path to follow. Sélection officielle au 62ème Festival de Berlin.
