Om filmen:
The Monastery
The Monastery is the award winning story about the 82-year-old bachelor Mr. Vig, who has never known love, and Sister Amvrosija, a young Russian nun, who - by chance or destiny - becomes part of his life.
    
50 years ago Jørgen Lauersen Vig bought Hesbjerg Castle, situated in the Danish countryside, with the purpose of turning it into a monastery. Now, many years later, he is about to realize his old dream. A group of Russian Orthodox nuns are on their way, and thus Mr. Vig's life-long dream is about to come true. But, nuns have plans and wills of their own, and Mr. Vig must realize that the road to fulfilling his dream is very different from what he imagined.

Director Pernille Rose Grønkjær followed these lovable characters for five years, and the result is a unique, warm film about people's dreams and the need we all share: to be seen and - not least - loved.
