Directed by Ângela Patrícia Reiniger

A documentary that investigates the reasons why people in the 21st century take the vows of Conversion of Customs (Poverty and Chastity), Obedience, and Stability, and choose to spend their lives in a cloister when they enter monastic life. In today's world, where human relationships are increasingly disposable, religious vows, on the other hand, are a lifelong commitment. The documentary reveals a reality that most people don't have access to, inside monasteries and abbeys.
