IDFA Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary

This is the story about the well educated 86 year old bachelor, Mr. Vig, who is facing the realization of his lifelong dream: To create a monastery in the castle he bought 50 years ago for exactly this purpose. A group of Russian Orthodox nuns, lead by the strong-willed Sister Ambrosija, are finally on their way and the vision is within reach. But nuns have plans and all of a sudden Mr. Vig is to make room for others in his vision. Suddenly the dream's reality is not at all what he imagined.
