Set against the haunting beauty of a fictional Texan monastery, the film takes you through the quiet, often chaotic, and deeply spiritual lives of monks living on the edge of both the world and themselves. Their holy struggle is both intimate and universal, mirroring our own inner battles between the sacred and the human. Nonlinear in its storytelling and atmospheric in its design, this film invites its viewers to surrender to the waves of contemplation, finding the salvific love that exists through such surrender.
You will find that the artistry extends beyond the surface—woven into the very fabric of the film are subtle references, visual cues, and symbols that invite a second and even third viewing.
