Love at the Monastery

Jan Rendl / Czech Republic / 2015 / 40 min.


synopsis

In this highly personal film, the director returns to a French Christian community in order to relive thoughts and feelings from several years prior, and to see the woman whom he loved but from whom he had been forcibly separated. Literary journals blend with video, physical love with spiritual love.
