See the most agreed on films →Two young women who grew up together in a Romanian orphanage are reunited. One has found refuge in a strict Orthodox monastery, while the other has moved to Germany and hopes to take her friend away. Their reunion rekindles a deep, complex bond that clashes with the rigid, isolated world of the convent, leading to a tragic conflict between faith, love, and possession.
