Coming-of-age drama about a novice
priest's fight for acceptance in the closed world he has chosen.
On the outside, twentysomething Andrea (Christo Jivkov) has everything
going for him, but after a personal crisis he decides to withdraw
from the world and join a monastic order. However, once he enters
the novitiate, a period of spiritual training observed by senior
monks, Andrea's preconceptions of monastic life are shattered. Instead
of finding a life of quiet introspection and prayer, Andrea's every
move and thought are analysed by the priests, eager to find any
flaw that would disqualify him from ordination. |
