This beautiful film is a unique and moving glimpse into rarely seen monastic life within 12 monasteries in Spain that provides a powerful opportunity for viewers to experience the silence, prayer, and simplicity that is a contradiction to our noise-infested world.

Filmmakers take the audience behind the monastic walls of the hidden and unknown life in a religious cloister to learn what leads a person in the 21st century to renounce a life in the world in exchange for a life devoted exclusively to the interior spiritual life.

Stunning cinematography and stirring spiritual chants and music accentuate the natural, prayerful rhythms of the cloister—a rich world in which things advance at an unhurried pace for the monks and nuns who find total freedom through silence and contemplation.
