A passionate rugby fan with a great devotional heart, 88-year-old Alberic stands at the center of the film, weaving together the monks' individual stories and revealing the vulnerability of old age. 


With moving honesty and humour, the monks confide their most tender secrets and share often surprising insights into their life journeys. 

Anna Frances Ewert's sublime and heartwarming documentary is a wonder, an attempt to capture the heart of a unique place before it vanishes, and to portray the yearning of the human spirit for the infinite in a transient world.
