Details: BEHIND THE WALL of a Trappistine Monastery, under Papal Enclosure, tread only the Monks and Nuns who vow to live in this Order of their own free will. This is the story of a young girl aspiring to the heights of her vocation under the Cistercian Rule of Saint Benedict. Absent from any contact with the outside world, in strict silence, in a non speaking Order, she lives her life alone with God reenacting the joys, sorrows and concerns of a soul trying to fulfill her calling. She brings to life her travails under a new superior in a new foundation who caused her demise, bringing her back out into the modern world.
