Synopsis

A documentary about one day in the life of an enclosed Carmelite nun. The film, which took seven years to make, invites the audience into the world of a cloistered community that live out an ideal of work and prayer as a kind of creative life. It was filmed inside the convent by the nun herself and by a volunteer who helps the community and is the only person allowed inside.
In English with Spanish subtittles.
