See the films the platforms disagree about most →A group of eight French Christian monks live in harmony with the largely Muslim population of a small Algerian village. When a civil war erupts, a group of fundamentalist terrorists begins to target foreigners. The army offers them protection, but the monks must choose between abandoning the villagers who rely on their medical help and staying in the monastery at the risk of being captured or killed. The film is a meditation on faith, fear, and sacrifice.
